Sweet pickles (bread and butter is the other name I think?) are the only ones my father in law made which always made my husband sad lol. He only loves dill ones!
I crave spicy pickled green beans and carrots from time to time. I also make my own malted onions and white vinegar pickled onions. They're so amazing on sourdough with scrambled eggs and kippered fish.
Whole baby dills are my favorite. I think the brand I like best is also fermented?
Anyway, I went on a bit of a pickle bender quite some time ago, bought all sorts of pickles to find my favorite. I somehow wound up with 2 open jars and 1 unopened, all of my favorite. After some time had passed, the jars that had been open began developing some stuff on the sides of the jar above the water line. Since they're fermented to begin with, and the brine is supposed to be cloudy I imagine it's totally normal and still safe to eat, but it's weirded me out, and now they've been sitting in my fridge for over a year because I feel guilty throwing them away until I know for sure, and I can't open the third jar knowing I already have 2 open jars.
Edit: I took some pictures. I think one is likely safe, the other likely mold?

I’m going to hold your hand while I say this, in the gentlest tone of voice possible. QualifiedKitten, please throw out those terrifying jars of pickles.
HAHAHAHA! I know, I know, I'm getting a lot of my food from the food bank lately, so I feel extra terrible about throwing food away. I hadn't really looked closely at them until taking those pictures today, and I already tossed the second one. Since they're fermented, white sediment is normal and expected, but I just don't know if that's what I'm seeing at the top of the first jar, or if it's something else.
I don't really care for dills much unless they're our good homemade dills, and even then i really only like them on their own, not in/on things.
Sweet pickles are my favorite (especially baby sweets OMG) but my partner says sweet pickles are too much of a pain in the ass to make at home. She makes batches of "bread and butter" slices which are really good, but not the same. Sadly I have to go store bought for my sweet pickle fix.

Y'all know you can pickle more than cucumbers right

Pickled cucumbers are so good, they're the only item that gets to be called "pickles." Everything else is "pickled whatever."
Or maybe it's because "gherkin" sounds absolutely disgusting and we don't want to call them that.

Her hot & spicy pickles are petty bomb too.

Try deep fried pickles then come back.
DrPop@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 23d
Cheap pickles are floppy and have no crunch. They suck. Good firm crunchy pickles though... yeah that's the stuff.

Fuck pickles, unless they are on a Cuban sandwich then they're chill.

Grass@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 22d
commercial pickles make my stomache really fucked up but home made is fine. I suspect corporate greed and 'generally recognized as safe'

I like pickles, but never see the point in getting them because sauerkraut, and kimchi, are better.

I think cucumbers were just fine. I like cucumbers.

Pickles are like fermented cucumber. Fermented stuff are tasty 🤤
Except fermented cabbage.
darkdemize@sh.itjust.works · 8 pts · 23d
Never had kimchi have you? That stuff is delish.
Rothe@piefed.social · 5 pts · 23d
So is sauerkraut.
trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 23d
Pickled cucumber, not fermented. Those are different processes.
Rothe@piefed.social · 3 pts · 23d
Some pickling methods involves fermentation, others involves acidity and sugar. They are both pickling methods though.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 22d
More cabbage for me then
