Alright, so here's an opportunity to give me some crap ;)

OK. So the other day I made some Mac & Cheese, came out nice but I was
a bit heavy with pepper... but still nice. Was refrigerated. This
morning I reheat it... and it is really quite unmistakably bitter.
Looks and smells fine.

The only real difference with this particular M&C was more pepper than
usual. Can pepper make food taste bitter after some time?

what cheese(s) did you use? Depend...some cheeses can take on a bitter taste after being cooked and cooled.

If it's cheapo preground sprmkt pepper.

Try using white pepper or red pepper (like on pizzas) fer the original
bake. Grind fresh black pepper on the M&C after it's been heated. I
like lotsa salt, too. Not good fer ya', I know, but tastes great! ;)

My vote is for quality green peppercorns.

Noted. I used whole mixed coloured peppercorns which I ground in a
mortar and pestle as I made the M&C.

Well...we'd need to start with small chunks of you.

I've never had that happen, but I think pepper is one of the seasonings
that can become stronger when allowed to sit and disperse into all of
the other ingredients? I'm not sure but if you find out what it was
please let us know?

That's the only cheese I use for M&C.

That's a possibility I suppose, it certainly wasn't sour to begin with
but maybe it was close to being on the turn? Even so, I've never quite
encountered bitterness like that from sour milk before. The bitterness
was really quite strong. I swallowed a teaspoon full of it at the time
of my OP, I guess it wasn't botulism because I still feel perfectly ok
:p

Just goes to show that what you put on the internet stays there.. FOREVER. Make sure it reflects how you want to be known.
