Most likely pickled sport or banana peppers.

Also, do you usually throw away food that you dislike? Most things can be prepared in a way where you can minimize the aspect of them that you dislike. E.g pickled Jalapenos are a good pizza topping, and are good in sandwiches too. Seems quite wasteful to me unless you are absolutely sure that you can never use them in any way and dislike them intensely.

  1. I disliked that jar of pickled peppers intensely.

  2. I don't see anything wrong with throwing away food I dislike. Trying to make it work is like buying and wearing a shirt you don't like because it was on sale.

  3. Actually, #2 sounded a bit too radical. But there's a difference between thinking "this chorizo is too greasy to eat in a sandwich, but I bet if I slice it, fry it and drain most of that fat it will go great into a bean or a pea soup that I might actually cook soon" and "this pepper is tasteless and hot, I ain't baking my own pizza and any sandwiches won't be improved by adding it, into the bin it goes".
