I finally found a bottle of Peppadew stuffed olives.
Very very neat.
Thank you.
Thank you again.

Ditto. I was enjoying a really piquant salad that contained
peppadews. The sweetness was masked, so I went in search of those
divine peppadews. No such thing I guess. Very disappointing.
(Heck, I even saw some on a salad bar, and sugar wasn't listed. I
got one, tried it, and yuck.) Oh wait! My daughter's friend
brought some peppadews to her. She claimed they weren't sweet,
but, yes, they were. I dumped some vinegar in with them and they
have been macerating for a long time now. Maybe I will remember
to check them out.

Ah, thanks for the clue about the olives. I THINK the sweetness
of the peppadews was just totally masked by the lemon that was
also in the pasta salad that I adored. I sure can't find any
piquant peppadews. It's a pity, because I really thought they
were great until I had them unadorned.
