Salt and Pepper Set – From When Did They Become a Set?
The pairing of salt and pepper as a set is a relatively modern concept, emerging prominently in the 18th and 19th centuries. Historically, salt and pepper were not considered natural companions. Salt was essential for preserving food and seasoning, while pepper, a rare and expensive spice, was often stored separately. It wasn’t until global trade expanded, and pepper became more accessible, that the two began to be seen together on the dining table.
The rise of the salt and pepper set can be traced back to the increasing popularity of pepper in European cuisine. By the 19th century, the combination of salt and pepper had become a culinary staple, particularly in French cuisine, which heavily influenced dining practices worldwide. The pairing is attributed to Frenchman, Francois Pierre La Varenne, France’s first celebrity chef and a royal chef to Louis XIV, who encouraged folks to combine the seasonings. The demand for a convenient way to dispense both seasonings led to the creation of matching sets, often crafted from the same materials and designed to complement each other aesthetically to make elegant saltshakers.
These sets became a symbol of modern dining etiquette, reflecting a shift towards uniformity and order in the presentation of food. The salt and pepper set quickly became a must-have item in households, with designs ranging from the simple and functional to the ornate and decorative. Today, the salt and pepper set is a ubiquitous feature on dining tables around the world, a testament to the enduring legacy of this simple yet essential pairing.
