In the supermarket yesterday, I noticed the peppers
in the fresh produce section were green, yellow,
and orange . However, in the spice shelf, I found black
pepper only.
What gives? Is this another manifestation of
our racist country? Like, if you’re a pepper of
color, you need to be incarcerated, you can’t
be trusted to mingle in civil society?

I guess I must be one of those with "two spirits", like John keeps saying

about himself. Pink pepper is definitely on my 'peppercorn' mix list, but
I do roll them between my fingers to get rid of the pink outer membrane
to prevent them from clogging my mill.
Yeah yeah, I wash my hands first due to Covid etc. and I warn people with
allergies because the plant is closely-related to several plants with
poisonous components. ( pistachio, cashew, poison ivy, poison sumac,
poison oak, mango )

BTW, green pepper is unripe black pepper, and white pepper is fermented
black pepper.

Be sure to pick out all the rat turds in any kind of pepper. I got

turds. But they sure taste good. Maybe it's like that coffee we get when
we feed elephants raw coffee beans and then pick through the dung heap. I
never tried that, just because it's >$K / Kg.

It's the finest grocery store in the universe.
I wish they still gave S&H green stamps. I never saved up enough to
buy that manura, nor the ouiji board. I did get a nifty beany cap
that I wear to the Sinagog on sundays. But it doesn't have a
propeller like our rabbi's sacred beany.
My granny finally forbade me to go there ever again, as they are
not baptist jews, therefore sinful. I'm going to check with the Pope!

If I store a green pepper in a paper bag, it will ripen black?
