My mom makes the best pickled eggs! No one else in my family will eat them, but they are delicious and pink. I draw the line at pickled pig feet though... |
| Once in awhile I buy a jar of sweet baby gherkins just for myself. My grandma made picked crabapples and we loved them--grab by the stem, suck off the fruit, toss the core. I've made those once in a great while, as well as beet pickles. |
| Sweet pickles are vulgar. Super sours ftw. |
You can buy Cornichons in the US. They usually have them at the grocery store, but you can order from Amazon. https://www.epicurious.com/expert-advice/cornichons-are-the-best-not-very-fancy-fancy-snack-article I’m in the love all things pickled, sweet or sour, camp. |
+1. I even love pickled okra. |

I can stand them either. Love most things picked, even sweet.thjngs like beets. But sweet pickles? Nope from me.
However, I.also acknowledge that everyone has weird things they like and don't like and that's fine. My sister hates mushrooms and I live them. I hate chicken noodle soup, which most people like. |
I was a child back in the 80s, when salad bars had their heyday. One time my mom was at the salad bar and an elderly woman asked her what an item was. My mom told her it was pickled okra, and the lady took some and so did my mom. When my mom started eating her salad, she got this wide eyed, alarmed look on her face, and she exclaimed, “Oh my God, what have I done! That poor woman!” The “picked okra” was really jalepeno. |

I love sweet pickles. And dill pickles. When I was a kid I really loved pickled things, sweet and sour. Pickled beets was a regular vegetable choice in my house growing up. And my mom made great pickled vegetables.
For whatever reason I don't love pickles as much as I did as a kid. I do love sweet gerkhins. And I still like pickled beets when I encounter them. |

Sweet pickles are delicious. They are the only ones I like.

I am excited to learn that I'm vulgar! My fave pickled thing is pineapple, which again has that sweet-tart thing going on. |
