I was at the grocery store yesterday and there on the shelf, as always is a jar of pimientos - the little sweet red peppers.

But wait! Are we talking about two different things here? The product I am seeing is Pimiento (Spanish for pepper) and we started talking about Pimento; notice the second "i" is missing.

So, are pimiemto and pimento the same thing with a typo or are they in fact two different things?
