Chupadedos olives
In order: 8 (sans sauerkraut & pickled veggies), 1, 7, 3, 5, 4, 6, 2.
I much prefer lacto-fermented foods over vinegar-pickled.
Peppers, both sweet and hot? Love 'em, especially fire roasted. Sun dried tomatoes? Hell yeah, great to cook with.
Soak something in vinegar though? Yeah, nah, I’m all set, thank you very much.
I just did a batch of lactofermented cherry tomatoes, and the one out of four jars that didn’t get moldy just tastes a bit salty, not really fermented. Not sure what I did wrong.
4 and 5. I really dislike pickles. It’s strange because they’re both vegetables in pickled water
Pickles will never voluntarily touch my plate, and when they do I push my plate to the nearest pickle person so I don’t have to remove it myself and get contaminated with the vinegar.
Sun dried tomatoes and the occasional kalamata olive I can tolerate. Artichoke hearts and roasted bell peppers are awesome.
Pickles are definitely my favorite on that list. My favorite is probably zesty bread and butter, but I also love dill. Black olives are alright. Most pickled veg are pretty good. Pickled jalapenos are good, but I much prefer fresh ones.
Pickled beets. They’re good until you forget you ate them
Red pee? Red poop? Oh I ate beets.
Ah yes, that brief moment of cold panic where you sincerely contemplate being deathly ill but still able to do something about it… right before your memory kicks in.
I love beets. And the ensuing staring into a toilet wondering if I should go see a doctor
Write “you are beets” to a post-it and stick it on the mirror
Green olives. Preferably stuffed with garlic.
None of this sounds good
Found the reptilian
These are all things I hated biting into on burgers and pizza so they have a very mild traumatization to them ruining them forever
marinated garlic cloves, olives stuffed with almonds, mini peppers with cream cheese
also, capers and cornichons have no business being food.
All have their place, but canned black olives tap into childhood nostalgia. Putting an olive on each finger and eating them one at a time.
I casually snack on cornichons straight out of the jar, or else with ham and camembert on a French baguette. In that case I’ll slice them lengthwise just so they don’t roll off.
I love pickles, Kalamata olives, kimchi, and artichoke hearts. I’d say I like everything else, although I’ve had some bad green olives and am not crazy about capers.
Everything on this list is my favorite, basically
