Pickled Peppers

From Farm Where Life is Good

<p>Sometimes a sub-sandwich or wrap-sandwich just needs a little pizzaz. 3-4 slices of pickled peppers is just the key. And being a capsaicin (i.e. (E)-N-(4-Hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl) -8-methylnon-6-enamide, trans-8-Methyl-N-vanillylnon -6-enamide) wimp, I need the sweet ones to start with. So, I sneak only a little bit of fire in these beauties!</p>
