I like pepper on my food, use it before I use salt. DH doesn't like pepper and I make sure I underseason the food when I cook, salt and pepper alike. I add pepper to my taste when the food is on my dish. Limit my salt because of HBP but DH piles it on even before he tastes his food. For a person who doesn't like pepper or spicy foods he is always suggesting that we eat at Mexican restaurants, go figure. Of course, he often can't eat his Mexican food and 'cools' his tongue with lots of sour cream and cold drinks.
