I like having pepper in a shaker on the table because it improves every food I add it to. But it hasn’t occurred to me that might just be a weird bias.

Instead of hiding pepper away on the spice rack, why not bring more spices to the table? Get 5 or 6 more salt shakers, fill them with additional spices, put them on the dining table, and try them with different foods. Could be a fun way to learn more about flavors when cooking at home.
