pickled pepper
Vinegar-preserved vegetable pod
A pickled pepper is a pepper preserved in vinegar or brine, often with spices.
The phrase is best known from the tongue-twister Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
Pickled peppers range from mild to fiery and appear in cuisines worldwide—from Italian giardiniera to Mexican jalapeños en escabeche.
