[Sca-cooks] Question on Cubebs

[Barbara Benson]

Greetings,

I have come across some one else providing a suggestion for a Cubeb
substitution. They said that a combination of black pepper and allspice
would be a good substitute.

This is a sub that I have not come across, and I am having a hard time
envisioning the flavor combination.

Anybody have 2 cents worth?

I know allspice isn't period, but in a crunch this might be useful.

Glad Tidings,
