People of German origin serve Capers with Lox (smoked salmon). Capers are an acquired taste.
Generally, humans under 25 can't get past the shape of them.
Better than horseradish. Although, horseradish does clear out the sinuses!

The caper (Capparis spinosa L.) is a biennial spiny shrub that bears rounded, fleshy leaves and big white to pinkish-white flowers. A caper is also the pickled bud of this plant. The bush is native to the Mediterranean region, growing wild on walls or in rocky coastal areas throughout. The plant is best known for the edible bud and fruit (caper berry) which are usually consumed pickled.

Capers are the unripened flower buds. After the buds are harvested, they are dried in the sun and then pickled in vinegar, brine, wine or salt. The curing brings out their tangy lemony flavor, kinda the same as green olives.

They are a Mediterranean berry of sorts. They taste good w/ angel hair and pesto in a garlic butter sauce, and a salmon steak!!
