With a more robust flavor than the common English walnut, black walnuts are preferred in commercial baking, pastry, and ice cream production. They are more common on the East Coast, where the tree originated. If you live outside of black walnut territory, use any walnut you can get your hands on. Black walnut extract is a grand alternative, and is available through a number of Internet sources. The pepper in this reicpe complements the distinctive black walnut flavor, and adds a touch of heat. But feel free to leave it out if you're chicken ( "bawk bawk!")
