I'm curious as to whether anyone has come across this before and what do you use it for in particular?
My French friend in Bordeaux introduced this spice to me. Pronounced 'sank bahy' in French. She grinds it in a pepper mill and uses it in lieu of regular pepper in all her cooking. 5 Baies is easy to find in French supermarkets and is also sold by the spice vendor in the weekend markets.
I looked up 5 baies on the internet. It's a spice blend of black pepper, white pepper, green pepper, baie of roses, and Jamaican pepper.
Not sure what the last 2 spices are but 5 Baies is more exotic and aromatic than plain black pepper. I brought some home but wish I had bought more. It gives everything a great peppery taste with a very interesting twist!
