Grilled cheese sandwich for lunch: Mild cheddar on sourdough with
sliced caper berries.

Ripe Parker County peach, too.

Now THAT I've never thought of. They must have been those huge
capers. Have you tried using tapenade on a grilled cheese
sandwich? It's pretty good.

Weren't capers, but caper berries. Capers are pickled flower buds.
Caper berries are the fruit of the same plant, likewise pickled in
brine. Bigger than even the biggest capers I've seen. they are.
That's why I sliced them. They taste pretty much like capers, but the
texture is kind of gritty from the seeds, not as pleasant as capers to
my palate.

Just thought I'd participate in the great caper discussion over a
sandwich. It's nice to be among (if virtually) folks who are
interested in flavors sometimes. I recently met a woman who refused
to even taste a caper from my bagel with cream cheese, smoked salmon
and onion sandwich. She was afraid it was fish. I couldn't convince
her it was just a tiny, flavorful pickle.

And yes, I've put tapenade on a GC now and again. It's better than
caper berries, I think, but I didn't have any tapenade today, and I
did have caper berries. Then there was the caper discussion on rfc,
too.
