    Also if you are ever making fried eggs, sprinkle a bit on a top together with pepper at the end. It looks nice and even though you use tiny bit it kind of gives it a slightly new taste..

    I love beef stroganoff with loads of smoked paprika. And I use it for prawn marie rose as well.
    Life is too short to waste a minute of it complaining about bad luck. Find joy in the simple things, show your love for those around you and be grateful for all that you have. :)

    Well I've ordered my 750gm tin from www.delicioso.co.uk and it will be here on Tuesday. There's a £5 p&p charge for any order so I've ordered some more exotic stuff to amortise the p&p, so now even more to look forward to!

    Changing the subject anyone know which, if any of the supermarkets stocks whole red peppercorns? Waitrose have mixed black & red rough ground which is NOT what I want, but not plain whole red ones. I also looked in the huge Auchan near Bolougne last week, they sell nearly everything in the pepper line (black, white, green in brine), but no red peppercorns.

    I've just had to look up amortise:o :oThank you for expanding my vocab Lolarentt;)


    I've just had a look at Seasoned Pioneers and they said no to 'red peppercorns', but they do have 'pink peppercorns' -are they the same thing?

    Yes they're what I mean, more like berries than peppercorns and have a pleasant fruity nutty sweet flavour.

    Further searching reveals this could be a contentious subject though!...

    but these suppliers call them red and pink in describing the same item

    Just spent £20 (oops, not very money-saving) on spices from Seasoned Pioneers

    I've been after sumac, tamarind and za'atar for ages. I love Middle Eastern flavours;)
