Thanks for the info. all! Hopefully I'll be hitting the dump again this upcoming weekend. The advertising for the Ponds Extract is interesting...sounds like it would cure just about anything that could bother you...lol

Rick,

I always naively thought those emerald greens were suace or dressing botttles. Olives??? I have a few and only half guessed to the contents as most aren't marked...Olives..really?

I have always heard they were caper's bottles.EARLIER people were talking about boiled peanuts. I love them.can someone say that caper's are good? FROM the pictures I have seen of them ,they don't look to good! Do they taste like WHAT? CHICKEN,BRUSSEL SPROUTS? REALLY CURIOUS,BUT NOT ENOUGH TO GO BUY ANY.

 

[RICKJJ59W]

Omg I hate capers,they are sour tasting.My wife loves them.maybe that's why I hate them [8D]

Capers are awesome! Toast, smoked salmon, onion, creme fraiche with horseradish and capers on top. I'm making myself hungry!

 

[RedGinger]

Oh and throw some capers in with tuna. Yum.

 

[Amber]

Love the beautiful green bottle... Try chicken piccata... a good piccata has lots of capers. yum.
