You should head on over to the South East of the united states to any sketchy looking gas station in the middle of no where and you are sure to find ether a jar of pickled eggs or a jar of pickled pigs feet… but to be honest I don’t know any one who buys them…

What about pickled watermelon? It is delicious – comes from the US south – I think. Anybody know? Anybody tried it? This was a really fun article.

Yay for kimchi! The description – fermented, pickled cabbage – sounds foul, but it’s actually really tasty. I was craving it when I was in the UK last summer.

Pickled radishes are also common here – you get a box of them free with EVERY kind of fast food. Chicken stew? Throw in some pickled radishes. Pizza? Pickled radishes. Fried chicken? Pickled radishes. Not one non-Korean I’ve met likes them – bleargh!

What about two UK staples? Pickled onions (I have a jar in my Korean fridge right now, mmm!) and pickled eggs? Pickled onions and a big wedge of edam cheese….drool!

Carrots & jalapeno… my favorite burrito side dish. Being so far away from real Mexican food, all I can think about some days are hot carrots.

YUM! As a huge fan of anything pickled, I am so happy that you made this post. I LOVE pickled herring, but since I live in Singapore, well it’s just too expensive and not that high quality. I flew to Poland via Amsterdam the last time that I visited my grandmother, partly so that I could pick up as many pickled herring jars as possible at the airport!

Luckily for me, as you mentioned there are lots of tasty pickled vegetables in Singapore’s varied Asian cuisine. I recommend trying Korean pickled radishes (sugar & vinegar), the slightly pickled mixed vegetables served with Malay and Indonesian food (usually some kind of mix of cucumber, onion, pinepple chunks, chilis with some spices), as well as heaping lots of pickled green chilis on Chinese dishes. When wandering around Malaysia (I was in Penang when I saw this), find pickled fruit/vegetable stalls in the local marketplace. They have every Southeast Asian fruit imaginable in pickled form. Sure, the flies tend to swarm all over the fruit, but you will not regret tasting pickled mango, papaya, lychee…..yum!

Also, the green pickled chilis are very mild in spiciness, so they are great if you have a lower tolerance for spicy foods, or if you are just starting out and looking to improve your spicy tolerance.

Yum, picked anything is usually awesome.

My English grandmother used to dish up picked white onions with every lunch. Tasty, tasty stuff. Also, very fun for children to peel and eat layer by layer. We never quite made it to pickled eggs though…
