Story goes "a peck of pickled peppers." However, it does not tell us which type of pepper peter piper picked prior to pickling. One would not find pickled peppers on a vine for picking. Nor would we have any idea, to answer your question, how many peppers were in the peck. The question cannot be answered because we have no idea as to the size of peter's pepper.

Before some one asks:
A peck is an Imperial and U.S. customary unit of dry volume, equivalent in each of these systems to 8 dry quarts, or 16 dry pints. Two pecks make a kenning (obsolete), and four pecks make a bushel.
