Why is it brown? What is wrong with your pickles?
I was wondering the same and got curious enough for a quick search. Saw someone recommending Branston Pickle and it looks similar
Aha! I appreciate the explanation! I've never heard of such a thing and in the US our pickles are green. Brown pickles would be something well past the point of being safe to eat over here :)
Someone show them marmite next...
I actually thought it was marmite or vegemite at first, but I've never heard of either of those being called "pickle" so I figured it must be a different thing entirely.
Yes. Branston pickle. Not gherkins.
"Gherkin" is a fun word. The Finnish word for cucumber is "kurkku". Sounds more like "gherking" than cucumber.
I imagine the Finnish transliteration of "gherkin" would be "kurkku", is my point.
Yup, branston pickle is a unique and potent thing. Well worth at least trying.
It's a relish though, not a whole pickle that you chop up yourself.
No joke, if you can find it locally, try it. Amazon carries it here in the US, but you'd be using Amazon, and I'm not sure how you feel about that. It's a strong, intense flavor. Like has been said in other comments, it's best experienced with cheese, on bread.
That's interesting! I love learning about new foods in other cultures. I'll have to keep an eye out to try this somehwere.
