forget a pepper mill, you need a pepper drill

I'd hate to be the poor sap that had to count 3000 peppercorns. And that grinder was badass.

that brodda go hard

Two years tops for whole spices...considering it took a few months for the East India Company to get those things back to northern Europe from the Spice Islands, no wonder they went so all-out on designing faster ships during the 17th and 18th centuries---made the spices tastier. ;)

Is it sad that I want to eat that salmon as is before the cooking O.O Look at the color on that salmon.

[suziamazon]

[jsvette1]

wonder what he was thinking when the salmon popped up

[gumonthepants]

Surprised and disappointed he used frozen vegetables AND a microwave!

@sushilubber if you are indian you would know that there is no such thing as curry in india, that was a word made up by the English

[Shawshankdude2005]

@naugotwolf Damn straight!

[Celestyal22]

@codectified well you already said one, so you dont bite into a very, um, flavorful, bite. Generally speaking if you through whole spices into a dish you remove them before serving. Grinding them prevents having to do both!
