Default Capers

I do not have much experience with these. Used them some time back in a
recipe and don't recall a problem. Then put them in that rice salad that I
made last night. I ate one and noticed a medicinal quality to it but since
there were only 2 T. for the recipe, I thought it would be okay. Well...
It wasn't! The salad tasted fine when I first made it. But after it sat?
The capers sort of took over the whole thing and all I could taste was
those. I fear I am going to have to dump it all out. I could only manage
to eat a few bites. Even after trying to pick around the capers, they had a
very aggressive quality to them.

Did I get bad ones? I bought the store brand but the other kind was about
twice as expensive. Are they supposed to taste really strong and bitter
like that? I don't remember the others being like that. I think they
tasted more like a pickle.
