Watkins Purest Granulated Black Pepper

Tuesday, October 24th, 2006

 Customers are always telling me how they like Watkins pepper better than any other brand. They’ve just got to have their Watkins black pepper, nothing else will do.

It’s true, most brands of pepper can’t compare to Watkins and I noticed this myself when we were staying with friends. My friends cooked and served us a lovely breakfast, and the eggs were smothered in pepper… ah, I like pepper but not that much! Anyways, I had to be polite and eat my eggs, so I took my first bite expecting it to be very peppery but I couldn’t even taste the pepper and there was no pepper bite! I was amazed and a little bit relieved as I finished my breakfast. My husband on the other hand loves pepper, so after he had taken his first bite he gave his eggs a very generous sprinkling of pepper. He mentioned to me on our way home that he still couldn’t taste the pepper! You can probably guess what our friends received as a gift from our family, some real pepper! I made sure to mention that she might notice that the Watkins pepper is a bit stronger than what she was using before! ;)

It’s funny when you use a product all the time, you don’t realize or think about how it might be different or better than a similar product, until you try that other product. I’ve had people tell me they only use fresh pepper that they grind themselves, and when they try Watkins pepper they are always delighted by the fresh taste. So, if you are a pepper fan and you haven’t tried Watkins Purest Granulated Black Pepper yet, now is a great time! You’ll taste a real difference!
