Hell yeah.

The special edition Pickled Scrumion McCoy crisps released during Works Cup when it was here were the finest Crisp ever produced

Recently finished a jar of silverskin, bought another jar. I try to keep them in stock, nice on sarnies or sometimes to give a bland meal some zing.

Not so much anymore. They're were just a gateway really to harder accompaniments. I've recently been found eating "Mr Kimchi" Kimchi straight from the jar. It's next level stuff.

I did recently pickle my own onions though :shock: Grew some spring onions and left them in the ground possibly too long. They were pink/purple ones and, after the Sweden trip I had a hankering for pickled sliced onions on my sandwiches, so that's exactly what I made. They were fantastisk 8-)

I've also started making my own pickled beetroot as we get a fair bit of beetroot with our veg box that we don't know what to always do with. This is also awesume. 8-)

I love pickles of all variety. I even drink the juice. Pickle juice - breakfast of champions.
How about not having a sig at all?

I like them.

Had my first ever pickled egg last week, having seen them on the counter in the chippy since I was a child I finally got round to actually adding one to the order. Enjoyed it 👍

Big time. All my life I've happily devoured entires jars of them. I always keep a large jar of pickled gherkins in the fridge, and the only reason I don't do the same for onions is because I still stand at the fridge and eat the whole jar in a peckish moment :lol:

Pickled or fermented things are right. Always. They disappear very quickly in our house because unfortunately the kids love them too, meaning I only get to keep chilli things for myself.

Thread update to advise that - over time - these have become my PO of choice. Yummy yummy yum. And as advised elsewhere on here (Gav?) filtering and retaining the vinegar for the odd time that you get a chippy works superbly. 8-)

Now - who wants a kiss?

If it needs pickling it shouldn’t be consumed.

Apart from those curried boiled egg things, I think technically that’s pickling ?

You are wrong, but that's your prerogative, and means more yummy pickled and fermented things for the rest of us.

I think Dave!'s main criteria for edibility is "only if it bleeds", so I think we can assume his views are not quite the norm. :lol:

Sliced red onion in 2% saline with a slug of the wash from a sauerkraut ferment and left for 3 weeks (ish) make a fantastic burger topping
