This guy has aids
And comes on them
Never knew I had slavic tendencies. I’m picky though it has to be Claussen dill.
I drink pickle juice regularly, after exercise and after mowing. Good way to eliminate cramps.
Great hangover juice
Pickle juice before intense mountain biking 🦾
My inlaws took in a Russian family a few years back. It was quite the culture shock for them to get a giant jar of pickled tomatoes and drink hole glasses of the brine. I like pickles and all, but that's just too much 😆
Pickled in vinegar and sugar or salt brine? Because vinegar and sugar is just an uncarbonated soda with less acid and more sugar.
If it's Slavic Gatorade then it's brine. Although what the guy in the pic is drinking is sugar and vinegar.
Homemade is usually in salt brine.
Usually vinegar where I come from. Wayyyy better
The brine pickles are better for you and better for your teeth.
Yea, but I'm not eating them for health reasons and the brine ones suck lol
Nah they're better generally.
You've never had the good stuff then. Salt brine based is boring.
I'm not a fan of high fructose corn syrup.
Uh... Whatever you say, that's not really a thing this side of the ocean. We use a lot of different things in pickles - never have I seen anyone use HFCS. Not even in store bought pickles.
I tried Fanta in the US and it was disgusting compared to the European version. If the corn syrup is what causes that and they also put it in pickles where you come from, I understand why you might prefer the salt type. But I assure you, even store bought vinegar pickles are way superior to salt pickles here.
Sorry, I made the assumption you were from the other side of the moat. My partner is in the states at the moment and says that even the baby formula has HFCS in it. Scandinavian pickles with vinegar are fine, I just prefer the fermented polish ones.
That's more like it. In Estonian we call it "hapukurk" or "sour cucumber" which implies fermented too. You can have all kinds of different flavours too. I've never made them myself (yet) but my mom usually adds garlic cloves, blackcurrant leaves and dill, all from her garden of course. It's delicious.
You know... you can pickle your own stuff, without HFCS, right?
Yes salt, water, and the lactobacillus from your hands.
For the spice hounds out there, really good to quence the burn too.
What if it's zesty pickle juice?
ಠ_ಠ
I hate pickles and pickle juice. Always have, always will.
That said, whenever I have bad heartburn, I take a shot of straight pickle juice (the vinegar kind), and it goes away.
