Spelling
Trying to sort out the various definitions with my dictionary, it seems like this article is referring to pimiento, not pimento, which, when spelled the latter way can refer to an altogether different pepper, as well as other things. From what I gather, the preferred spelling of the olive stuffing has two i's. Krychek 19:36, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Being Portuguese, i can say for certain that Pimento is what we call the bell pepper. I believe Pimiento is the Spanish name for it. 88.214.136.89 (talk) 03:53, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

In Spanish it is "pimiento", that's for sure [at least in Spain; in Argentina it is usually known as "morrón" or "ají-morrón"]. The thing is which version is the appropiate in an English Wikipedia... 157.92.4.2 (talk) 18:29, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Doing google searches for pimiento and pimento, I have noticed it mainly spelled as pimiento. The searches were done within the USA. 24.20.117.99 (talk) 02:12, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Statistic
The statistic of 85% of all stuffed olives are pimentos seems made up. Can someone back this up? --219.89.6.186 22:32, 5 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Did you know that 113% of Americans don't understand statistics and that 42.12435246% of statistics are made up on the spot? ;-) Dachande (talk) 17:55, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Photo
I'd like to see a photo of a whole pimento on this article. Cєlαя∂σяєTalk 18:13, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Reference to "Succulent"
The description of pimiento as "succulent" renders that word as a link, which is redirected to "Succulent plant", which is not what "succulent" means in that context. There should be a wikipedia page about succulence in foods, or the link should perhaps go to wiktionary rather than wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nikgervae (talk • contribs) 05:40, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

Pimento in olives
Possibly worth noting is that the "pimento" used as olive filling is often not sliced pimento, but a mixture of pimento puree with a binder (usually sodium alginate) and other ingredients. --71.227.190.111 00:37, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you for mentioning that! I just thought they were fake, somehow. Haha! Hanako 23:32, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I am eating Spanish olives stuffed with pimiento (Brand: Linsay Manzanilla) as I type this, and I swear the stuffing does not look pureed. Could I be wrong? Anyway, it's delicious. 210.176.70.2 (talk) 05:13, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
