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.
