Much sweeter than olives, different taste, olive is more bitter. Work amazing in some dishes

I like to hollow out a caper berry and stuff it with a sliver of almond, a sliver of garlic and a sliver of pimento and paste it all together with blue cheese. This gets crammed up an olive hole and the whole thing gets wrapped in an anchovy fillet

Olives? No, capers are pickled peas to me. I remember making some recipe I saw in the New York Times (bucatini with capers and sardines) and realizing as I took the first bite that I had made mac and cheese with tuna and peas.

Try eating a steak tartare, you'll never badmouth capers again.

Also it's nice with nachos.

That's like saying anchovies are wannabe sardines, except that capers are incredibly cheap relative to any decent olive. What the fuck are you even talking about?

NYT is one of the most reliable sources of good quality, proven recipes outside of just buying cookbooks.

they're literally only used to make tartare sauce, which is just mayo and capers

they're more like a condiment than an actual food.
you just add a few to season a dish, and that's it

I dice a few tablespoons of these and add them to my potato salad. They are also good in a chef style green salad.
