BFTD Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Tips like these are what keeps me coming back to P&B. Pig ears with a side of Greek mushrooms sounds like a winner. Will report back with the wean's verdict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure gristle and the most disgusting thing I've tried to eat after whelks, rubber with puss bursting out in the middle. Pigs tail is also quite tasty if a bit full of wee bones.

vikingTON Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Utopenec - 'the drowned man' - is a pickled pork sausage wildly sold in pubs/supermarkets in Czechia/Slovakia: They also pickle a camembert-style cheese, sometimes with paprika and chilli peppers to give it a bit of heat: Both look absolutely vile but make for superb eating with bread and gherkins and washed down with a couple of beers.

HI HAT Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Used to like a pickled egg , used to like a pint of guiness until I had a horrendous session of guiness with a good few pickled eggs . Was ill for two days afterwards, never have I mixed the two since. Not recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I once bought a jar of pickled eggs from Tesco. I finished the jar off in one sitting then was violently ill for the rest of the evening. I limit myself to no more than two a day now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8MileBU Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Pickled gherkins , pickled onions , jalapenos , mussels and cockles. Just realised I'm quite the pickle person. Apart from the eggs they things are fuckin* rank. Agree with this, pretty much most pickled stuff is nice, but pickled eggs are rank! Pickled Jalapenos are nice but Banana Wax Peppers are the best. Serrano peppers are good as well. I also like picked Habanero peppers but these have to be used cautiously, usually sliced up a little with a piece of Cheddar, or in scrambled eggs. I like pickled jalapeños but prefer them non-pickled. The pickling seems to take the heat out of them. Joe Bay [emoji1] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjc Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Big fan of pickled condiments. Gerkins, beetroot, red cabbage, jalapeños, onions, cucumber, capers....Do branson pickle and piccalilli qualify? Never tried pickled egg, mussels or herring despite liking each in other formats. My old man used to cut the rolls twice and put gerkins and beetroot in one with ham, cheese, salad etc in the other.....sensational! Kimchi is not bad but generally the Far East way of pickling isn't to my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgun Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 ^^^ That reminds me...can you pickle mushrooms? Never seen them pickled but button mushrooms marinated overnight in red wine vinegar, olive oil, garlic and dill are sublime. ETA. I may have had pickled mushrooms one time in Japan. I know I had saki that night but other details are hazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always gone for the pickled onion option at the chippy to be honest. I'm heading back across for a visit in August so will try one then. Think you're right about Branson pickle and piccalilli BTW. Both are Doss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are Doss A few years back we had a couple of Japanese visitors at the work for a few months. Before they left they put on a bit of a Japanese night for me and a couple of colleagues. The fodder was tremendous and included pickled squid innards which were, thinking back on it, quite nice. Is this a Japanese thing or were they taking the piss?

I'm not a big fan of their pickling as it lacks the punch of ours in my opinion. Kimchi isn't bad though as it's spicy and goes well with rice.
