Answers:
Capers are the unopened flower buds of a Mediterranean bush, capparis spinosa, which are preserved in various ways - in brine, in vinegar, dry-salted!. If he liked them try making tapenade, a sauce whose name comes from tapenas, the old Provencal word for capers!. I like it with hard boiled eggs, but it's fine just spread on bread!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Capers are the buds from the caper plant!.
