A peck of pickled peppers or just about anything else? Probably too darned many.

Peppers aren't pickled on the bush, so there were no pickled peppers. Peter Piper lied.

A peck is an imperial and United States customary unit of dry volume, equivalent to 2 dry gallons or 8 dry quarts or 16 dry pints. An imperial peck is equivalent to 9.09 liters and a US customary peck is equivalent to 8.81 liters. Two pecks make a kenning (obsolete), and four pecks make a bushel.

(338 posts)Peppers are pickled after they are picked. Pickled peppers don't grow on bushes, pickled peppers come from jars.
