Loading...For most of the world, at the very least the western world, there are pretty much always two condiments prepared and ready to enhance your food with every meal: salt and pepper. They’re always together, always present at restaurants all over the globe. They seem so natural together, but the video above poses a very good question: why salt and pepper? Why not any other pair of spices?
As it turns out, the pairing of salt and pepper is a combination of usefulness and complete chance. The interesting and entertaining video above talks all about the history of salt and pepper. Made by It’s Okay To Be Smart, the video explains just how awesome, useful, and even taste-enhancing salt is, as well as how unimportant and average pepper (in relation to other spices) is. Whether or not you like or dislike the combination of salt and pepper, their history and usage is a fascinating tale, and It’s Okay To Be Smart tells that tale very well in the video above.
