Salt and pepper both enhance the flavor of food without changing the taste or adding additional flavors, in my opinion, which makes both of them maximally versatile and leads to their primacy.
However, I'm curious now if my assessment of black pepper as unflavored is due to just eating so much of it through my life that I don't realize it has a taste.
