You know my obsession of trying weird and random things with food? We're going to focus a little more on the random than the weird by (temporarily?) replacing Weird Recipe Wednesday with Random Recipe Wednesday. Wait, it's more like renaming than replacing, because knowing me the recipe will likely involve some sort of weird factor anyway. Okay, now that that's out of the way let's get started.
I'm a sucker for sales and deals, even when I don't need the item. What can I say, it runs in the family. Anyway, last week I happened upon jars of roasted red peppers marked down to 99 cents. I proceeded to put 3 jars in my cart even though I've had an unopened jar of roasted red peppers in the pantry for several months. Much to my delight, these sweet peppers rang up for only 89 cents a jar. Since I now had four jars on hand I figured it was time to open one. Guess what? I think I know why they were on clearance. Instead of the sweet roasted flavor you get when you roast your own red bell peppers, I tasted only a fake-smokey-chard flavor. They certainly look like roasted red peppers, and the ingredient list doesn't say anything funky alluding to added flavoring.
