Party planning? Pick up a peck of pickled peppers plump with prosciutto and provolone, and — presto! — you’ve got an antipasto with plenty of pluck ($8.99 per pound). Prepare to pucker up when you pop ’em in your mouth. The little pups are as piquant as possible, but the primary pungency passes as the pure pinguidity of the pork-and-provolone filling pacifies the palate — proper people-pleasers, these. Perfect for picnics, too.
