Answers:
Pimientos are peppers!.!.!.so yes you can have them!. I happen to really like green olives that contain pimiento and I am vegan!. I am a little confused how that looks like meat to you though!. It doesn't look a thing like meat to me!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can, years ago it was a strip of pimento, but with rising demand and prices they now mince or puree it, binder it with a binder and make a sheet and cut it into strips and then place it in the olives, I am a former chef and used to buy tinned pimentos from Spain for garnishes and in foods, before alot of fresh red peppers were available, there is not meat or meat products used in the production of them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

just in case you're from the US of A!.!.!. that's bell pepper not chilli pepper!. Pimento is preserved pepper - usually kept in jars of oil!. The stuffed olives are a mediterreanean appetiser or a bar snack!. you also get them with garlic or lemon!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sure you can! It's from the pepper family!. I don't think it looks like meat at all!. I like olives stuffed with jalapenos!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
