Who was Peter Piper? And how where peppers he picked pickled?

Question

How was the peppers pickled and what is a peck?

Did he steal the peppers or the peck?

Answer 1

A peck = British measures and wasn't Peter Piper British??
1/4 bushel,
or 2 imperial gallons,
or 9.09 litres

American measures =
8 quarts,
or 8.81 litres

So if Peter Piper was British, or Canadian for that matter, he picked more pickled peppers than his American cousin.

Answer 2

Don't know how to break this but Peter Piper & his pickles are ficticious - Made up for the benefit of the tongue-twister:-

Peter Piper Picked a peck of pickled Pepper
A peck of Pickled Pepper Peter Piper picked
If Peter Piper pecked a pick of pickled pepper
Where's the peck of pickled pepper Peter Piper picked?

Answer 3

Peter Piper was poor. Peter’s profession was picking pickled peppers. Eating pickled peppers was nota particularly popular pastime, (just think how pleasing pickled peppers are to your palate) and pickled
pepper pickers were pretty poorly paid. To make things worse, Peter’s employer was Penelope Palmer, a
pitifully penurious piker who wouldn’t flinch an inch to pinch a pound, much less a penny from poor
people like Peter.Part of the problem was that Peter was poorly prepared for plunderers like Penelope. He couldn’tadd or subtract. So Penelope pinched a penny per peck from every peck of pickled peppers Peter picked.
Instead of the four pence per peck Penelope promised to pay Peter, Penelope only paid Peter three pence
per peck. Peter was poor and would probably be perpetually poor as long as he picked pickled peppers
for the penny pinching Penelope Palmer.
