	khoff  +  93682 Tue, 26 Apr 05 05:54 PM I think a pimiento (also spelled pimento) is some kind of pepper that is preserved and sold in jars like olives and pickles, rather than used fresh. In fact, in the U.S., green olives generally are sold stuffed with a little piece of red pimento. khoff Joined on Sun, Mar 6 2005 Senior Member 3,278 Native speaker of American English (but not a grammar expert)
