caper


Explanation:
All I can think of is that it's a not very accurate transcription of "caper"

caper

Unopened flower buds of the subtropical shrub Capparis spinosa or C. inermis with a peppery flavour; used in pickles and sauces. Unripe seeds of the nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus) can be pickled and used as a substitute.
