Pickles are so good. Been experiment with pickling all sorts of things lately. Turns out, home pickling is shockingly easy, safe and versatile. It seems a bit sussy at first, but, assuming you got the salt to weight right, it’s basically bullet proof. And these pickles are so much tastier than the stuff at the store. Like, the lacto fermented stuff is just so much more complex than the vinegar stuff at the store.
Oh absolutely, the mass produced stuff has just been so diminished in quality by the efforts to streamline, standardize and cost cut.
So much more can be done even with just vinegar pickles at home, using a more flavorful vinegar, using better quality vegetables, or just making some combination that isn’t widely available.
Picklez is any food preserved in an acidic solution. But that acidity can be generated in many ways. Such as by adding stuff to an existing acidic solution, like vinegar, but also by creating an environment that consistently breeds safe microorganisms that will create an acidic environment and outcompete the icky microorganisms that make my tummy hort.

even just vinegar pickled stuff can be a lot tastier than what you get at the store. vinegar pickled red onions are my favourite bread topping.
