Pepper. Way back when, people risked their lives on ocean voyages and faced wars for the simple peppercorn.

Have you bought any recently? I had a flashback to when pepper was oz per oz with gold. 1/10th of a month food budget, for black peppercorns.

Harumph. I did buy them.

I absolutely love pepper and eat it with just about everything!

So, the answer is yes, I have a very good supply. Pre-ground and whole peppercorns, probably a total of 2 lbs or more.

And that is why, even though I'm mildly allergic to peppers, I invested in paprika and pimento seeds last year. I can grow my own barter items :)
