I love gherkins too, especially good dill pickles. Much prefer them to pickled onions.

Do you? That's unusual, not many men seem to like them.

And yeah Stek, pickled. I thought they were pickled by definition.

Every time I go to Russia I have to endure pickled Onions, Cucumbers, Gherkins, and worst of all, Mushrooms - YUK!!!!

Pickled Mushrooms = Compressed Slugs...

Pickled scallops out in Madrid, absolute vomit. WTF would you pickle a scallop. It's just wrongness!

The 'hit' has to be from the onion, not salt/chilli etc.

Mine in rough order of favourite

1) Pickled Onion Monster Munch
2) Nibbits Wheelz (Sure these were 'Onion & Vinegar' Flavour) [now defunct]
3) Aldi Monster Claws
4) Walkers Pickled Onion
5) Space Raiders
6) Seabrook Spring Onion
7) Burton's Daily Fish 'n' Chips Lashings of Pickled Onion [new entry as of last night in the pub] 5 for £1 at Morrissons.

Though certain Cucumbers are used for pickling and are very tasty (we grew some) without pickling.

Pickled though?

The ones from a jar never seem to taste as nice as the ones in a McDonalds burger, I'm guessing they're fresh.

Oooh we had one of those at Outbacks in Orlando. It was great.

I know someone who works in agriculture, they're allowed to gather all the onions from the field that are too small to be picked by the harvester (they're normally just left to rot) anyway once peeled and pickled with a jalapeno pepper in each jar, a few months later make the nicest pickled onions I've ever tasted.

Get some culture will you? A Gibson is what sophisticated, civilised gents like wot I is enjoy.

It's a drink originally produced to be an improvement on the Dry Martini. A cocktail onion replaces the disgusting, slimy olive that normally ruins a good drink.
