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. |

Did you rinse them as usually always recommended?

Apparently letting it sit like that just allowed it to get super harsh! And the other odd thing is that it looks like tabbouli. I kept expecting it to taste like that. And it sort of did. Until I hit some capers. And with that many in there they were pretty hard to avoid. From what read online, you were supposed to rinse them to get the salt off. But the finished dish didn't taste overly salty. Just very bitter. And really like some sort of medicine. Like maybe Nyquil. |

They vary quit a lot as does any ingredient. But capers are typically strong and tart and used in moderation. Two tablespoons in a cup of rice is just wrong. I'd have used a half teaspoon. And yes, some flavors get stronger with time. |

This is all about Marty and Spin and the appologists here are just covering up for them by posting food topics like all this is never happening. Please go back to stalking the old man who lives in a bus. It really has defined who you are over the years. And you know very well what that means, auk-tard!!!!!! |

And yes, some flavors get stronger with time. These are waaay beyond tart! I think I bought the Star brand before. I could eat those right out of the jar and they were fine. But these? Gonna toss them. To be fair, the recipe was from 1910. I imagine they had much fewer seasonings available to them then. I was a bit surprised to see that rice was used in those days though. I was about to say that my grandparents didn't eat rice. But they did! At least the ate rice pudding. Hmmm... Back to the old drawing board! |

Had an ex BF who had a friend who lived in a bus somewhere in Oregon but that was back in the 1970's. When you first started posting here, I thought you were okay because you were posting on topic things and they seemed to make sense. And you seemed nice. But now? You are very close to going into my KF. I really don't care what goes on in other newsgroups that I have no interest in visiting. Keep that crap over there! |

It clearly states on the jar to rinse before using but... I wish the recipe would have said that! All I did was look at the ingredients. The rinsing statement was on the other side of the jar. But if I ever need capers again, I sure won't get those. |

If they come in salt I rinse them, while if they coem in sal****er I just use them as I get them from the jar. Were they in salt or sal****er? -- "Un pasto senza vino e' come un giorno senza sole" Anthelme Brillat Savarin |

I would think that two teaspoons would be too much for that amount of rice. Actually, I would make your recipe without the capers. (for something like that recipe I wouldn't bother with the expense) If you need a little bit of zingy taste add a teaspoon or so of pickle juice. Janet US |

Notwithstanding that they may have been bad, I put capers in the same category as sage and ginger - go EASY. I usually cut back at least a third to a half of what a recipe calls for.
On the other hand, I am now doubling whatever goes into the sauce for a dish. Too often, the taste is good, but the dish is just too darn dry. My other half always says " You know I like liquid left on the plate" - i.e. swim it, sister. |
