At the store this evening, I saw a box of Balinese long pepper, a spice I'd never heard of before. So I bought a box. Of course. It looks pretty exactly as pictured on that page. Those are definitely some long peppers -- that's not getting thru your average pepper mill. But in addition to being up for trying just about any new spice, esp. of the peppery kind, I'm also happy for any excuse to break out the molcajete. Ground up some tonight with salt and coriander and sprinkled on steaks before grilling. I didn't notice the described notes of cardamom or nutmeg particularly, but the flavor profile is a bit different that regular black pepper. It's a subtle difference, and not one I've fully worked out a description of yet. I'll be using it in some other dishes to see what kind of results I get.
