Friday, March 25, 2011
Why is smoked salmon typically accompanied by capers? Such an odd little condiment. A caper is the pickled, immature bud of the caper bush, a plant native to the semi-arid climates of the Middle East and the Mediterranean region. Its mature fruit, caper berries, are typically packed in salt.
