What is your favourite pickle?
-
Pickled red onion, although your post is a real coincidence because I'm pickling some cabbage for the first time and while I assume red onion is going to stay king, cabbage isn't gonna be no slouch.
I just started pickling stuff regularly though, and pickled beets do sound dang good, so I'll make those next time I see a stray beet begging for culinary embellishment.
I am also here to say pickled red onions are the best. I'll throw in garlic cloves and red chili peppers to add a little tang and heat, too. Fuckin delish.

There’s a special something about pickled okra.
Close second is pickled watermelon rind.
Edit: Almost forgot about Maille brand Cornichons. So good, especially with pate, or some liver wurst
You can pickle watermelon... rind? It becomes edible?

I smash the whole cloves a bit so the flavor comes through a bit more, though I suppose you could cut them up too! The bonus is you can pull the cloves out and use them in whatever you'd like, and they're much more pungent

Mine is pickled beets, no dill (sorry beans, you're second). Nothing against dill, I love it in most pickles but prefer my beets unadulterated.
Dill hot pickles, none of that nasty sweet pickle shit.

Straight-up pickled cucumbers, but specifically my partner’s late grandfather’s recipe. I don’t know what all goes in them or the ratios, but they’re the perfect amount of dill and spice and I think grape leaves? They’re perfect and oh-so-spicy.

Zesty bread & butter. It's basically bread & butter that's a little spicy. If I can't find any, I sometimes make my own with a standard jar of bread & butter and add a couple spoonfuls of red pepper flake to the jar and let it sit for a couple days.

Pickled okra is definitely my favorite so far. Haven't tried those eggs at the gas station checkout yet....

I like fresh pickles, when they're right off the vine. I just rinse them off and slice them and eat as is.

the grape leaves supposedly help keep them crunchy. bay leaves can do the same thing.
they sell pickle crisp as an additive as well.

I feel you, I dumped a bunch of azomite in my garden a few years ago, all of my beets were softball size or larger with massive chunks eaten out haha

Dill or sour for cucumbers, and anything not sweet for whatever else (eggplant, radish, plum, etc)

Absolutely. Tends to be a southern United States thing. Pickled Watermelon

I've tried the grape leaves and didn't notice a huge difference. I do the low temp pasteurization and they stay pretty crisp. The most crispy are the lacto-fermented though.
