Surely no one likes capers.

[Bretrick]

Definitely unpalatable, salty and bitter. Why would anyone want to eat them?
Unripened flower buds, zingy? Nasty more like it.

I buy capers to use in a recipe then they sit for years in the frig until I finally toss them.
I always mean to use them. They're good mixed in to things.

 

[Lewkat]

Love 'em.

 

[Aunt Bea]

There are a few ingredients like that.

I leave them out and just charge ahead, I never had them so I don’t miss them.

 

[robin416]

I use them in a Mediterranean dish. I have no clue what they taste like by themselves.

 

[Ronni]

I use them when I make chicken piccata, and also sprinkle them lightly on lox and bagels which I’ll occasionally make as a special breakfast treat.

 

[MACKTEXAS]

I hate them; sorry . . .

 

[Jules]

I like them and should use them more often.

 

[Sunkist]

Never tried them. No interest. I don't usually like "extras" on/in my food.

@ Bretrick

Hey, it's all your fault. When I saw what you originally posted, was the day we'd gone to town for groceries. Talked with Heloise, and neither of us had remembered having capers, though she's more likely to have had them in a dish that I.

Grocery run today and I got the cheapest ones I could find, just to try them. Want to thank you, we both thought they were terrific.

I’ve never tried them. I was surprised to find out they are flower heads. I always thought capers were some type of small fish, small as in guppy size. Maybe someday I will try them.

I use them to make chicken piccata too, but not much else. People sometimes use them when making olive tapenade but I leave them out.

I always have a chick pea salad in the fridge to munch on and it always has capers in it, and green olives. Most recipes call for Italian salad dressing (which I loathe) so the capers and olives give it a bit of zing and I don't need any salad dressing.

Same thought I had, til I saw it here and looked it up.

I use them in chicken marbella.

When I hear "capers" I think of

 

[jujube]

I've had them "in" dishes, and I don't mind them, but I don't think I'd be interested in munching on them by themselves. So many other things that are tastier.....

 

[PeppermintPatty]

Same thought I had, til I saw it here and looked it up.

I did the exact same thing and discovered that there is a fish similar to cod called caper.

Pan-searing white fish (like cod, tilapia, or mahi-mahi) in a pan with olive oil or butter for 3-4 minutes per side, topped with a sauce of lemon juice, capers, butter, and parsley, creates a classic, tangy, and savory dish
. It is often thickened with a light flour dredge and white wine or broth.

And then there’s plant capers which is what this thread is about

 

[JustBonee]

I’ve lived a sheltered life …. never had the occasion to ever try them.

 

[MrPants]

I wouldn't eat them whole right out of the jar but I do use a few, finely chopped, when I make homemade tartar sauce. They add a bit of a boost to the flavour.

 

[George1959]

Love 'em.

My wife and me too.

Prunes in a chicken recipe - that’s different.

I do too.

no need to be sorry... I hate them as well....

I do too.

Or raisins when you don't have prunes.
