I recently discovered #16 black pepper. It truly can make things spicey. But table ground? Ha!
I know someone allergic to capsaicin. I’ve seen him eat the mildest salsa and turn red. He also sweats to black pepper. Maybe your father has a similar allergy.
What is “#16 black pepper?” Isn’t that just a grind size?
I didn’t know people used preground at home. Not any cheaper and tastes like actual dust. With a regular old pepper mill you can change that grind size easily. And no matter the grind size it doesn’t have the ability to make food “spicy” as in “hot.”
I grind my own pepper too, but #16 aka coarse ground is much larger pieces of ground pepper. #16 is the die size. You technically could grind it coarse yourself, but you’d have to sift it and only keep the bigger pieces. Here’s an example: Amazon Brand - Happy Belly Black Pepper, Coarse Ground, 18 Oz a.co/d/8e7AWHT But you should be able to find it at any big grocery store. I get it at Costco. It’s great for rubs and spicing up stuff just a bit. I think it’s the oil that remains in the course pieces as opposed to the smaller grind that allows the oil tooxidize quickly, which mutes the heat in the oil. I learned about it when I got into smoking meat. It’s used to crust a smoked brisket.
Kamloops and Merritt are junctions for major highways between other parts of the province. In Kamloops the #5 runs Southwest to Vancouver and North to Valemont (a bit past there is the #16 to either Prince George or Edmonton).
Traffic headed from Calgary to the West Coast will pass through Kamloops and then the #1/#5 to Vancouver, while the the 97/97C connect southward to the USA through Osoyoos.
Merritt gets a share of the traffic on the #5 or 97C
There’s a LOT of people and vehicles coming through, lots of “interesting types” moving products of likely varying legality, and plenty who may mark either Kamloops or Merritt as a place to stop overnight on their journey, or to drop off/retrieve items from one of the many storage warehouses. In either city, auto theft -especially trucks - is pretty common and one “hot” vehicle may be abandoned in exchange for another.
It’s not hard to imagine that some people who may interact with such activities - either by choice or as accidental witnesses to crime - may upset off the wrong folks and be disposed of in any of the many off-road logging trails or backwoods locations off the highways.
Hunter was a common baby name in at least one Canadian province from 2013 to 2017, ranking as high as #9. Beau was the #16 boy name in that province just last year. Go to this page and search for Beau.

@bookstadon#BooksOf2023#16: Robert E. Lee and Me by Ty Seidule. As someone born in the south and whose extended family still lives there, this book opened my eyes to some of the ways the “lost cause” is baked into southern culture. A must-read for anyone from the south or anyone who wants to learn more about the U.S.’s (particularly the South) continual struggle against racism.
