Image Description: Spices often have an exotic look, but this picture helps us to remember that there are standbys out there that the majority of us use on a daily basis: namely, black pepper. The photograph is dominated by six spoons, each holding a different variety of spice, with all six coming together to create a very satisfying foreground of color and texture. Behind it is something more familiar, even if you’re used to seeing it ground up: a pepper mill full of whole black peppers. Used widely in the days before it was a simple thing to purchase finely ground black pepper, and still beloved today by those who like to have control over the size and texture of the pepper that they eat, the pepper mill is a simple device that allows you to adjust and grind to any level of fineness that you prefer when applying pepper to a meal.
