PT foodies, what are capers? I know they are a plant, specifically a bud from the plant. I had chicken piccata over the weekend and, of course, there they were. What's the flavor of capers, anyway? What else can you do with them beside chicken piccata? My mom has a jar of capers in the refrigerator, but it seems as though she uses only a very few at a time. (she mostly makes half of a given recipe nowadays since it's just her and my dad, so that may be part of it- if you use a small amount in a recipe to begin with, and she is using even less)


Thanks,
