I know (and so does Geordie Joe - I think) that is the point we are arguing. Peppercorns are not a condiment.

This thread thoroughly entertained me for at least ten minutes... thanks
I am really really straining against the urge to share my opinion on the subject

You don't get it, the point of the thread is they don't class peppercorns as a condiment.

If you had got it, you wouldn't come in at this late stage and bet on something that was made clear in the very first post and has been made clear in just about all the other posts in this thread.

Hehe...methinks a pepper is a fruit.

Botanically speaking that would be correct. From a culinary point of view it is however a vegetable. Although I do understand that such a point of view might well start off another argument entirely.

And can't you run some engines on chip oil?

No you can't run an engine on chip oil, you can however run it on biofuel after it has been processed.

More or less the same as what I already said, but I was referring to crude oil being processed into petrol.


TBH, I think this thread was answered on the first page. Pepper is a condiment, Peppercorns are not.
