Hi. I just got home from a local supermarket and i saw "pickled onions" i havent seen those since i was a kid. 
PICKLED ONIONS!  I used to drink them in martinis.  Now I just use olives.
Oh wow !! Really? i have never heard of that. I remember going to the bar as a kid when my mom worked there and eating pickled onions, eggs or sausages tho
Yes...I remember those pickled eggs.  Jeez that was nasty.  All the old guys would come in and have that and a beer.
lol. yes they were very popular in the bars. I liked the onions the best because i liked peeling the layers and eating them that way. What else comes pickled ? lol
Lol.  The pickling process is pretty interesting to me, a simple brine or vinegar and voila, it lasts for months. 
How long does it take ? I just realized something else, isn't a cucumber turned into a pickle through that brine or vinegar process?
Not sure on the time, and yes it is!  I think the proper description is "pickled cucumber", since not everything is a "pickle".
What about pickled herring? Have you tried them ? i have not ,they seem gross. The Pickling process is so popular but only certain things really taste right when you do it
I wouldn't eat a pickled fish if you paid me!
i would not try a pickled fish either. lol. Thank you for chatting with me. It has been fun
