A couple on a deviled egg are really good, in lieu of caviar.
I found something at Central Market a couple years ago. They have a long olive etc. bar, and one tub was filled with caper berries. They look a bit like green olives with stem on. A caper is the bud of a flower. When the flower is fertilized it develops into these berries, which are then pickled like the buds. Very pronounced caper flavor. Might be useful at a tasting for giving your palate "something completely different" or in an olive and veggie melange.
