Who else thinks Black Pepper is underrated?

I grind pepper into almost everything I cook.

Tony's can really alter the flavor of a dish negatively if not used right. Coarse black pepper and salt really allows whatever your cooking to be seasoned well and still taste the dish how it was cooked. Tony's is good for liquid dishes and drowning out the natural flavor of meats and vegetables.

I use Tony's on my chicken tenders, fries, ramen, mac and cheese.

I have used Tony’s for so long

The amount of sodium in Tony’s is disgusting. It’s not hard to properly season food without using a seasoning blend. At minimum make your own version of the blend to use and cut out like 2/3rds of the salt.

word

salt, pepper, cayenne/crushed red and cavenders no-salt is all I need.
I will say though, our FDB friend got blaze makes a killer chili seasoning

Black pepper on grits is amazing

I rarely use Tony's or similar mixed seasoning. I can't recall the last time I did. The pre-mixed seasonings I use most often, when I use a pre-mixed seasoning, are Cavender's and Nature's Seasoning. I really like those two.

Salt, black pepper, white pepper, cayenne, granulated garlic and granulated onion are the non herb seasonings I use most often.

I made biscuits and gravy this morning. I always put a shite load of pepper on biscuits and gravy.

Lots of pepper is used in my kitchen.

I add coarsely ground pepper to almost everything nowadays. It’s helped me to cut back on adding salt to everything.

I use crushed black pepper almost daily and Tony’s never.
