My wife had to explain to me that pickles were pickled cucumbers and there wasn’t a pickle tree.

I was 30 something years old.

Me too, but I was in my 40's and found out at a bierfest.

Makes me wonder, can you pickle zucchinis?

You are on The Internet. You don't have to wonder about anything, anymore.

Now you can post to this topic about how you had to explain to an adult that the Internet is more than just a message board, but actually a repository for information as well.

You can pickle pretty much anything. Vegetables, eggs, fish, you name it.

Mozzarella is brined which is a form of pickling. So the answer is, "Yes, you can".

Two things that are almost always in my fridge are pickled sliced red onion, and pickled jalapenos. It's so easy to put together, and a nice bright addition to dishes

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 months ago

Yes. And cauliflower, watermelon rinds, radishes, all sorts of things. It's not just cukes, beets, onions, and eggs.

Yes. They are delicious. Acide makes them
