Apparently, the ones packed in salt are better (although you have to rinse them really well). The bigger ones with stalks on (caperberries) are really delish though, my favourites!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-56051313417075150002008-11-09T22:08:00.000+11:002008-11-09T22:08:00.000+11:00thanks Ruththanks RuthJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-52310883400842830372008-11-08T12:08:00.000+11:002008-11-08T12:08:00.000+11:00What a lovely and intriguing combo.
