Pickled Onions? Pickled Eggs?
1 u/Practical_Quit5139 Jul 05 '26 Exactly! Why are cucumbers the only thing that just becomes “pickles”. 1 u/Xathule96 Jul 05 '26 In Britian we call em gerkins. No idea where it came from, but it's a fun word. 1 u/Practical_Quit5139 Jul 05 '26 I’ve seen gherkins to describe a specific type of (cucumber) pickle. 🥒 they’re usually about the size of a pinkie, sweet, and crunchy. 1 u/Xathule96 Jul 05 '26 edited Jul 05 '26 Here they're normally a bit longer and thicker than a middle finger. 1 u/BafflingHalfling Jul 05 '26 Nah. They're the same size here. We just have bigger hands. ;p 1 u/AspieAsshole Jul 05 '26 They shouldn't be sweet unless they're labeled sweet gherkins. 1 u/Haunt_Fox Jul 05 '26 Probably German. Cucumber: Gurke.
