Challenge 1000 Response

The Scent of Peppers

with Bill Kowaleski

“Apple & Pepper” appears in issue 1000.

Apple and Pepper: Yes, pepper has a scent you can detect without sneezing. And different peppercorns (black, white, pink) give off different aromas. But pepper could mean something like a red bell pepper also. However, the poem does not make it clear what is meant.
