Do you mean canned ones, like Bet haShitah? They're fairly easy to find. Otherwise, if you mean pickled turnips and pickled beetroot, and perhaps the mini pickled eggplant/aubergines, I have no idea...

Alibaba restaurant sells such things, of course...

I looked at this link and released an involuntary squeal, MrLapLap came over and practically drooled over the abominations.

One of the advantages of moving to a new area in London is easy access to delis you weren't familiar with. Lots of Polish groceries near where I live and, without exception, we've been enjoying our first taste of a range of Polish gherkin/cucumber pickles. The vinegar used in most readily available British pickles is more like turpentine, and the pickles themselves lack that all important crunch/bite.

I have two suggestions for easily made Japanese style pickles.

1. Miso flavoured baby cucumbers. Take some baby cucumbers (pierce them lightly if you want a more intense flavour) smear them in miso paste, pop them in a plastic bag and put them in the fridge for 2-3 days. Rinse the cucumbers, slice and serve. (You can also do this with raw Calabrese broccoli stems)

2. Salted radishes. Slice some radishes, sprinkle with salt amd chopped garlic, put them in a dish with a plate and weight on top and put everything in the fridge for 24-36 hours. Rinse if you like (my taste), but MrLapLap doesn't and eats them with rice.

best pickles:

Rein's Deli, exit 64, Vernon CT, Rte 87 South.

With a handle such as CP Tango it's a good thing you like kimchi! : )

I love these! Miso and cucumbers. You can't go wrong there.

No fans of French cornichons here? Or pickled red onion slices?

I'll eat the onions out of mixed pickles. Never seen pickles onions alone that weren't meant for drinks. I like cauliflower and carrots from the mix too, but the carrots could stand some softening.

You know what grosses me out? Those big round yellow seeds in a jar of sweet pickles. I have to wash them off before I put them in a sandwich.

Couldn't agree more. Ate an entire jar of half-sour's today! Probably eat another during the final round of the Players Championship tomorrow!

Pickle Ham Egg Sandwich is my favorite. ^

i found them here in Central Florida and they’re my new favorite.

Wow, if I had known that this thread existed 2-3 years ago, I would've gone ape nuts! My airline of choice had pickles in their lounges... barrels and barrels of two different kinds!

Turkish pickled peppers, Salvadoran curtido, kimchi. Anything else is a meh

Tsukemono are one of my absolute favorite Japanese foods, and pickles in general.
