Answer 1

it may "look" like meat, but it's not... so you can eat it.

Answer 2

just in case you're from the US of A... that's bell pepper not chilli pepper. Pimento is preserved pepper - usually kept in jars of oil. The stuffed olives are a mediterreanean appetiser or a bar snack. you also get them with garlic or lemon.

Answer 3

yes of course its basicly olives with cut up peppers put inside really nice you should try the garlic ones to they give a nice sort of crunch but bad breath :P

Answer 4

Sure you can!  It's from the pepper family.  I don't think it looks like meat at all.   I like olives stuffed with jalapenos.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 11

Pimentos are just peppers - you will be fine. They are yummy.

Answer 12

Yes you can it's a pepper.

Answer 13

You can, years ago it was a strip of pimento, but with rising demand and prices they now mince or puree it, binder it with a binder and make a sheet and cut it into strips and then place it in the olives, I am a former chef and used to buy tinned pimentos from Spain for garnishes and in foods, before alot of fresh red peppers were available, there is not meat or meat products used in the production of them.

Answer 14

Pimientos are peppers...so yes you can have them.  I happen to really like green olives that contain pimiento and I am vegan.  I am a little confused how that looks like meat to you though.  It doesn't look a thing like meat to me.
