   I work as crew on food TV shows and have done for years. We eat the food after it's been shown on camera. They always over salt it and never use enough pepper. Grinding pepper takes too long and is boring, so they just do two twists for show. I have a personal pepper grinder.

     I hate pepper. The reason we have salt and pepper in everything is because some French king (don't remember which one) decided there were too many different spices and forbade his kitchen from using anything but salt and pepper.

     For some reason, the rest of Europe decided to follow this stupid order and it has lasted centuries.
