Long Pepper

Long pepper tastes like black pepper on steroids. If you like the flavor of black pepper, you will love the flavor of long pepper.

Long pepper can be substituted for black pepper on any recipe where you want the peppery taste to be more dominate. It is especially good in dishes like Smoked Corn Beef where the key spice is pepper.
