Pimento? I don't even know her.

Last night, there was confusion in the house. Chad was pretty sure pimentos were man-made fillers for green olives. And he had some good points (every piece is the same size and they apparently taste funny). And who am I to argue anyway? I don't know what a pimento's life is like pre-olive-until now that is. Pimento is actually Spanish for 'pepper' which makes sense since that's what pimentos are-peppers. Seems like a pretty bland name. But, that's the Spanish for you or whoever named it pimento-that's them for you.
