They are sort of an acquired taste, but are sorta salty and pungent. I think they are the flower or berry of some plant, pickled. I had some in Greece that were very different from what you get in the US, which taste kinda "green", those were spicy and sweet, and made a wicked good pasta sauce. They tend to amplify some flavors, and are a counterpoint to others. Good on smoked salmon.

I had about a pound of sizable shrimp, there were a few left over but we had salmon and scallops too. Lunch today!!!

I was missing the capers, but it came out fine, though they would have
added a good counterpoint to the sweetness of the shrimps.

So what are capers?

Would wine substitute for the brandy?
