Speaking from my hormones... is it the capers themselves which fulfill 
your need, or the brine in which they are marinated?  PMS symptoms, like 
pregnancy cravings, are often related to greater need for certain trace 
minerals.

Cutting some capers, tappity tappity...

================================================

The brine is part of it, but it's not just a simple salt craving. It's them little green buggers, yes indeedy. Not only will I want to eat them straight, I will start putting them on anything I can get away putting them on. But if there is a jar in the cabinet and I am cranky and hungry and it's getting nigh to the time of the month, well hello snacky time. And then it's time to drink a gallon of water.
