The ribbon hints at Italy! Some kind of home made preserves?

The red ones look like stuffed red chili peppers, the white ones look like some members of my family! 🙂

Of course I know, Andrew. Although done with a fancy smiley face they are stuffed capsicums/peppers (special small ones) with shredded cabbage and made with vinegar + to be sour. A wonderful winter side dish (salad). In Croatia the sour capsicums stuffed with cabbage are not traditionally made with such a smile (probably slice of red capsicum plus two black olives) but it doesn’t hurt. Those in your photos probably originate for one of the Easter European countries or at least the idea of them.

There ya go! 🙂 if you haven’t had some try in winter or autumn grill some kransky sausages , fry some chips and cut out some sour peppers with cabbage as salad… good old fashioned cold weather Eastern European tucker – beats a hot dog any day 😀

As someone with a German background… I will pickle anything! Eggs, pig feet, herring… My favorite is asperagus. Great in Bloody Mary’s!

Well I was going to say peeled crab apples until I read through the comments. Pickled heads of some sort. Definitely not for eating for this girl. Creepy indeed!

There have been some credible suggestions but I am not convinced by any of them. I didn’t buy a jar or sample them so I do not have the definitive answer!
