Sichuan peppercorn...probably the most interesting spice i've ever tasted
Edited on Tue Jul-21-09 03:05 AM by Lethe
it start off with a lemony taste with strong floral accents, and then gradually numbs your tongue, lips, and mouth with a strangely pleasant sensation that is akin to licking a 9 volt battery.

1. CMW cooks with it a lot.
I haven't noticed the battery acid thing, though. Maybe I should be paying more attention. :rofl:
