Coloured Peppercorns

[pt_tangles]

This is a question to anyone who happens by and knows more about cooking than me (Mattie and Desree, I am looking at you!):

Do colored peppercorns actually taste different than black ones or is it purely an aesthetic thing?

I find that they do - they are very different from each other. Now, since I bought that mixed thingie - I can't tell you which is which, but they are different and both subtely and obviously so. One of them is very similar, but another tastes NOTHING like pepper at all.

Now I am really intrigued. I am gonna have to pick up some coloured peppers and try them out.
