Black Lampong peppercorns are a young, sharp black pepper. These peppercorns from Indonesia are picked earlier in the ripening process. They do not have the depth of the Tellicherry pepper, but they do have a sharpness and heat that many find appealing. If you'd like to sample pepper with a higher heat level, give these peppercorns a try.

Strawberries are too delicate to be picked by machine. The perfectly ripe ones even bruise at too heavy a human touch. It hit her then that every strawberry she had ever eaten--every piece of fruit--had been picked by calloused human hands. Every piece of toast with jelly represented someone's knees, someone's aching back and hips, someone with a bandanna on her wrist to wipe away the sweat. Why had no one told her about this before?
