I should have asked for a sample too, but didn't get around to it. I would like to add that no one seems to have mentioned one of my favorite things to "spice" up with pepper powder, flakes, -whatever- of various types and genera, i. e. melons, cantaloupe, honeydew, cranshaw, orange flesh, and those lovely little French breakfast melons that I can never recall the name of, but they are delicious. Anything but watermelon - doesn't do much for that. The justaposition of the sweet, cool, sharp, hot, melon/pepper taste (occasionally with a dash of Rose's Lime juice) is heavenly. and just a tiny dash of salt, prefferably sea-salt. O.K. I have convinced myself, have to run down to the produce market and pick up a couple.
