What the heck are capers? Where do I find them in the store? Are they in a jar? Can? Vegetable area??
 
I've seen Rachel Ray use pickled capers as a seasoning with salmon. Capers are dark olive green in color. Comes in a small jar (from what I see in Rachel Ray's 30 minute meals).

Have never bought/used them, but maybe you can try the same section as the olives?
 
They are by the olives.. at least at my store. They are flower buds of some kind. I think they are always pickled. Pretty tasty.
 
Yeah they are flower buds found in a jar. Ive had them once but I dont like them at all! I dont know what it is but something about the taste makes me sick. :o
 
All my life I called them "fish eyes" - don't particularly care for them myself. Yes I know they are green flower buds - but to me they look like fish eyes and that alone is a total turnoff.
 
LOL Interesting description of them mama mangia! I personally have never had capers. After seeing this thread, I don't think I'll ever try them either. LOL I usually don't like things that are pickled anyway.
 
What would you use capers for? I have seen in resturants where they use it in chicken dishes. Are the capers a garnish? I am not sure about eating flower buds.
 
I don't use capers that much, but they are found in chicken piccata and some other sauces.
