I like pickled veggies on their own, but not as an ingredient like in a burger. And pickled eggs are vile.

Yeah, Branston Pickle is great on cheese on toast, picked cucumbers are also pretty decent with the right meal too.

I'm 99% sure that the style of pickles on mcdonalds burgers are the polish fermented kind, rather than the ones that are more common over here that are dill pickles in vinegar - which might explain why people don't like em in burgers

Gherkin is a type of pickle, so yes they are.

Gherkins and pickles are the same thing. 'Pickle' is just what the Americans call them.

'Gherkin' I suspect, is an anglicisation of the German word 'Gurke(n)' which means 'cucumber(s)', but also refers to what we would call 'gherkins'. Teutonic gherkin confusion can be evaded by prefixing the word 'Gurke' with 'Salz-'(preserved in brine), 'Sauer-'(pickled) or 'Dill-'(pickled with dill).

The very best gherkins IN THE WHOLE WORLD are Spreewalder Gurken, sadly I've never found any in the UK and most British brands tend to add artificial sweeteners which is clearly an aberration.

Fortunately, I've found Krakus Dill-Gherkins to be excellent and I heartily recommend them.

Next week: odd national stereotypes used in German for terms relating to sexual acts. You don't learn this gooseberry fool by doing GCSEs kids!

So far this year, I have eaten NO mince pies.
