Kevan Smith - Pepper

Mother’s Pod Replicator produces most fruits, vegetables and living matter like Homeworld.  But Mother is well aware Bonn needs indefinables only nature can produce for his DNA.  So, it is with spices.  She, by extension Puter, seeks planetary substances that very closely match her compounds.  The tiny red berries contain a black stone that, when dried and crushed, have a spicy pungency that made Bonn sneeze but, more importantly, added to the flavour of the many foodstuffs she replicates.  When young, Bonn ate a few and spat them out immediately.  So now Puter forages for Nastyberries to make pepper.
