Which is better?
Salt or pepper?

The answer is likely to change every time you consider it.
The outcome depends on the variants involved.  All of them.

Take watermelon, for instance.  Some people like to salt it.  (Others, no.)  But I have never heard of anyone peppering watermelon.  In this case, salt wins by a nose.

Now…. how about a bowl full of ham and green beans.  It is probably salty enough.  But boy, wouldn’t a little pepper be good?  Pepper wins.  Depending on the person, of course.

You see.  There aren’t really any right answers.
Where salt and pepper are concerned.
It all depends on the circumstances surrounding the event.
I am wondering if that mostly goes for all of life too.
