This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It also goes by the names alnus viridis, green alder, dune pepper (or Poivre des dunes in French).
It is milder than pepper, with a bit of a coniferous resin taste. It looks a lot like long pepper but tastes very different.
It's technically not a pepper, but the catkins from a variety of alnus brush.
I have no clue where you would find that in Europe and the places I know around here don't seem to ship overseas.
