Love 'em or hate' em? 

When I was a kid, I hated them, along with pickled onions. 

Now I have gone the opposite way

I have gherkins with nearly everything these days and often on their own. I get through 2 jars a week 😊. It may not last

Do you eat them or use them for nefarious purposes ?? ...... you don't have to answer !!!

I prefer cornichons myself ...... or a nice Mrs Ellwoods with mustard seeds for a bit of bite.

They have a good crunch. 

 

I think they have dill ones also if you don't care for the sweet. I haven't had either for years. 

 

They were almost a sure thing on the Thanksgiving chow table each year.

Not a  big fan of gherkins but like the odd pickled onion.

Speaking of which, I'm making a dozen pickled eggs today with assorted spices etc. Always good for snack and especially nice with a large pack of crisps.

Also a very good match with a few beers too.

I very much prefer when the eggs are pickled in a proper dark malt vinegar.

Speaking of vinegar.....

 

I started back on a shot of apple cider vinegar a day. I keep coming across solid info, that it a good thing for keeping healthy.

I suggest we have T247 October Gherkin Challenge. 

All members should purchase a jar of pickled whole Gherkins and try them for a week. 

🥒🥒🥒🥒🙂

Unfortunately, the bigger the gherkin, the less tasty they are and harder to swallow. 

Flaccid 3 to 4 inch gherkins are usually the best

I been making my own for a couple of years now. Great dish and lasts for ever. Use those huge Kilner jars.

+ used the same paste to pickle some gherkins like the Koreans do last year ............ so thread still on gherkins track .
