I love tuna packed in oil. I love chili peppers. Therefore, I love these chili peppers stuffed with tuna and capers, packed in oil. Bite sized with kisses of heat and brine, these protein packed snacks are perfect as appertivo and party appetizers. Hell, they are even better forked from the jar, at 2 am in front of the refrigerator in your robe and fuzzy slippers.
If you live in the greater Puget Sound area, you can find them at De Laurenti for under $7. If you live in Seoul, get a dose of sticker shock by picking up a jar at the Galleria for 24,000 won (US 26.50).
Yum.

Yum, and ouch! It’s too hot for a robe and fuzzy slippers. Besides, there’s a puddle in my kitchen…

So what would that average? I figure there are a max of 12 stuffed peppers (the size of a largish gumball), 2,000 won a pop…from a jar. I tend to agree that Seoul has taken the #2 spot as most expensive city in the world (look out Moscow, can you hang with 2 dollar stuffed peppers?). You have to remember, a regular bell pepper can run you 3,000won in this extortionate city.
