It's nice to see those fat worthless cultureless gluttonous pigs eat vegetables, though, let's be honest. For me, the pickle is all right

Highjacking this thread.

>>16556757
I pickled them in spears, as they were of the common long variety. Came out super soft, not at all like I wanted it.

>>16556749
I'll try that, let's hope I don't get a mouth full of cream.

where the fuck do you live? olives and pickles are also popular in europe. are you a chink or something?

why are jews so abscessed with pickles?

>The amount of times I've seen Americans gleefully cramming pickles in to their fat pickle holes is almost beyond belief

So OP just goes to America and skulks around in the bushes outside McDonalds watching people eat pickles all day or something? What kind of mental illness does he have?

>Do Americans really???

I’d say Americans are one of the cultures LEAST interested in pickled vegetables. They stick to pickles and maybe beets and others but most consume non-fermented mass produced shit pickles.

>>16556771
pickling lime (calcium hydroxide) or alum (potassium aluminum sulfate) can be used to maintain firmness in produce when making pickles

>>16557262
Sauerkraut is very popular in the Midwest. We eat more of it than the Germans do these days.

>>16557327
cabbage drowned in distilled white vinegar isn't sauerkraut, WIDF-kun

>>16556771
Oak leaves can also be added to the jar. The tannins can help to keep veggies firm during fermentation or pickling.

>>16557146
Hell yeah, I'd drink the brine too.

I'm not aware of America being overly pickle obsessed and I've lived on the coast and the south. The only thing I can think of is the south has fried pickles and pickles in a paper cup are sold at movie theaters as a viewing snack, which is unconventional.

But the world at large consumes just as many if not more pickles. Tons of kinds of pickles, tons of dishes incorporating pickles. Japan specifically is super into pickled foods, including pickled cucumbers, which are a major festival food.

Once again, OP is just deluded.

I figured like... most countries like pickling foods. Its a great form of preservation.

>>16557358
Fucking americans and their fucking kimchi

>>16557361
It is. Sauerkraut, Kimchee, Umeboshi, every country has some. The only reason America has pickles at all is because of immigrants from those countries. OP is literally retarded.

>>16556665
>>16556665
fuck you retard

>>16557358
You seem to know a lot about pickles and pickle culture for someone who claims no allegiance to the pickle cartel.
I know your plans, I'll never let Big Pickle indoctrinate me or my family.

>>16556665
American culture is centered around pickles. They have holidays for pickles. They killed hundreds of thousands of white men to get their pickles. They listen to pickle music. They elect a pickle eater as their president. They dress and act like pickles (Pickle Rick). They draw the entirety of their modern culture from pickles. They post sassy gifs about pickles. They watch sportsball while eating pickles. Their biggest event of the year involves throwing parties in honor of eating pickles while watching sports. They use pickles in their slang like "I'm in a real pickle" and "that really tickles my pickle". When you say "Dill" they're not thinking of the herb. They're thinking of the pickle. Their cities are completely oversaturated with pickles. They worship their police force disproportionately filled with pickle eaters and their global police force of soldiers filled with pickle eaters. Their men sit around eating pickles while their women sit around watching pickle cooking shows. They worship pickles like Vlasic and Clausen and the discontinued Ma Brown Pickles while attacking cuisines that actually fed their country before pickles took over. Their movies are filled with pickles and their music charts are topped by songs about pickles. They send pickles to the Olympics and celebrate when the pickles are eaten by the winners because those pickles are true red blooded american pickles. They watch pickle porn to a point where "pickle" does not make them think of the original definition, meaning spiced sauce served with meat or fowl, but about vinegar soaked cucumbers instead. They will tell you how much they hate pickles and how their pickle obsession is stale joke and they are just pretending to love pickles but the evidence speaks for itself in that America has always been and will be a nation of pickle loving pickle eaters.

>>16557391
See how personally offended they get when someone talks down about their sacred pickle? Do Americans actually WORSHIP the pickle?
My investigations continue.

Pickled vegetables are huge in asia

Anyone that dislike olives should be legally shot, im afraid to say.

We aren't, there are like 3 kinds of pickles at the grocery stores and 2/3 of them are colored with food dye.

>>16556665
I am not even american and i love some ice cold pickles right from the fridge.
I even drink the brine.
Or mix it with vodka.

>>16557356
This. add some dried dill to the brine and in a week your pickles become super-dill pickles. fucken delicious

>>16556665

>>16556665
What is to dislike? As an American i have access to pickles which helps, but I also like fermented cabbage, fermented tea, yogurt, any probiotic really with fermentation being my favorite and only majorly trusted preservation technique, aka yes I am not about to freeze or can some meat or veggies seems nasty to me.

>>16559053
You ferment meat?

>>16556665
I never saw so many pickles as when I was in Estonia

>>16559219

Yeah, the premise doesn't make sense even as a troll.

Salami. Not exactly fermentation, but specific cultures of bacteria/yeasts grown on the sausage, preventing development of other, harmful cultures and giving it the characteristic taste and white 'skin'.

Fantastic.

>>16556704

Pretty much every culture has a version of pickles, since picking is a preservation technique and sour is delicious.

>>16556738
Add a teaspoon of whole mustard seeds to the brine. They won't effect the taste and help the cucumbers retain firmness while being pickled. Also cut off the stems prior to pickling if you're not already. There's an enzyme in the stems that will make them go soft.

olives are fucking disgusting ill fucking gut you worthless piece of trash

>>16556771
So you're using just regular cucumbers? This is why they went soft. Normal long grocery store cucumbers don't hold up well to pickling. Buy mini cukes or preferably Kirby cucumbers. Kirbys hold up the best imo, but they might be hard to find at a run of the mill grocery store. Minis still work great though and you should be able to pick up minis just about anywhere.

>I'm surprised they don't dip pickles in their coke.
But I do op

I'm an american living in europe right now, and the pickles here fucking suck. All they have are bread and butter style gherkins, no actual dill pickles. No wonder this guy hates pickles so much, he's never had an actual dill one.

>>16556704
>vegetables
Without all the benefits of vegetables, pickling destroys most vitamins and brings a unhealthy amount of sodium, also sugar because those fatties like to put sugar in the brine too.

These are the best.
Located int cold section at supermarket usually with sandwich meat
Soo good. I look upon all other pickles with great disdain.

pickles go well with Brie, works solo with crackers or on a sandwich

>>16556665
I'm not even kidding with this, not being pol even, but jews.

>>16566652
this, jewish delis had pickles because jews came from europe at the time and europe has a long tradition of pickling so the sour style there became popular

also pickling was a good and easy way of saving cucumbers, but it got better as time goes on and became closer to the jewish/ny style pickle instead of bread and butter

>>16556665
>pickled cucumber is vile
surprisingly some countries are retarded at making pickles
uk - every pickle has too much sugar unless you go to foreign food

>>16566678
Eastern Europeans definitely do this too, so it's not a Jewish exclusive thing, it's just that jews came over in larger numbers sooner, and they do have that whole fubu thing going on, so they kept the practice in the climatically and agriculturally similar land of new york.

>>16566700
most jews are eastern european

>>16566717
Yes. But eastern Europeans did not emigrate in large numbers before jews did. Jews like to be considered separate. I thought you, a 4chan user, would know that.

>>16566682
Iran. In the US, Claussen pickles are the best, but if you can get your hands on some Dadfar pickles from Iran. They pickle them with some peppers and garlic and some other herbs and it makes for the best pickle I've ever had.
Iran is weirdly good at pickiling things, I also use this shit called Turshi, I put it it in a lot of the things I make. It's just pickled vegetables that are marinated in this delightful sauce they make.

>>16556771
Use pickling cukes next time. Also if there are some grape vines in the neighborhood throw a leaf or two in each jar

We pickle onions and gherkins in this country, but cucumbers is just weird.

because pickling gives great taste and is also pretty cheap, i probably eat 30-40 kgs of pickled vegetables a year

>>16556665

no, some of the vitamins and all of the minerals are still there. most of the vitamin loss is also from storing, not the pickling process itself. adding sugar was a mistake though

>>16577484
from a nutrition perspective. they are also just to enjoy them

>>16556738
you have to be hard while making pickles otherwise they come out flaccid. fun fact, 70% of all the world's viagra is funneled directly to pickling plants. that's why you see those studies all the time about how manufacturing workers have some of the highest rates of stroke, hypertension and heart attacks out of any profession.

>>16560669
