Can you buy sour pickles at your local grocery store?
Asked by Wiki User
I've been monitoring the steadily deteriorating sour pickle situation in New England for going on 30 years now. As a stock clerk in high school, in Providence, we used to stock 3 different brands of sour pickles, and that was a neighboorhood market. These days, there are 2choices: order on-line, with a substantial risk of receiving old pickles, or travel to regions where sour pickles are still stocked. As of 2007, it is still possible to find full sours on the shelves in supermarkets in upper-state NH and Vermont. I bought my last dozen in Montpelier. Going south, one doesn't find sour pickles on the shelves until Virginia. Best, Ken

Are pickles a vegtable?
Asked by Wiki User
Pickles are cucumbers. Cucumbers are vegatables.
Yeah. they're actually baby cucumbers.
No. Cucumbers are a fruit.
My 2 cents: Most people don't seem to understand what fruits and vegetables are from a botanical standpoint versus a dietary (food groups) standpoint. Most people consider a tomato to be a vegetable dietary wise but it is a fruit botanically speaking. From a dietary (food groups) standpoint pickles/cucumbers could go either way IMO.

No. Eating such preparation can give you abdominal distension and pain due to the enzyme mix found in both the pickles and milk. It is like eating watermelon and beef: it will be an unpleasant experience.
On the other hand, a mix of pickles and milk can be used to clean up oily skin.
What is the difference between kosher and non-kosher pickles?
Asked by Wiki User
Kosher hot dogs are prepared following all the rules of kashrut. Muslims have a similar food process called Halal foods.
Answer:
Kosher rules that would apply to hot dogs specifically include:
- The method of killing and bleeding the animal
- The absence of blood in the mix
- The absence of meat from animals that are not allowed according to the rules of kashrut (pork, rabbit, etc)
- The absence of milk or milk products in a meat hotdog
- The absence of grain in the mix during Passover
- The cut of the meat (in most places, the hind quarter of an animal isn't used because the difficulty of removing the necessary veins, arteries, etc to make it kosher is cost prohibitive.)
Non-kosher hot dogs have anything that resembles meat that can't be sold as a cut of meat - lips, snouts, muscle scrapings from bones, whey powder, odd animals. Kosher is much the same, but from a much more limited set of possible ingredients.
The most important difference to the average non-kosher consumer is that non kosher hot dogs are usually a mixture of beef and pork, while kosher ones are usually all beef.

Why are pickles kosher?
Asked by Wiki User
Kosher foods are those that do not violate Jewish dietary law. The law is complicated, and not all authorities agree on exactly what is kosher and what isn't. A kosher food will generally have on it somewhere a trademarked symbol belonging to a rabbinical supervising organization. This means the product has been investigated by someone belonging to that organization who is very familiar with Jewish dietary law, and has found that not only the ingredients but the process used does not violate any of the principles of that law as interpreted by that particular organization. Some organizations are stricter than others, but most of them make their guidelines for specific foods available so people know exactly what a kosher certification from that organization really means.
The question might arise: what might there be in a dill pickle that could possibly violate the dietary law to make some dills "Kosher Dills" and others just "Dill pickles"? The answer is that so-called "Kosher Dills" are not necessarily actually kosher in the sense of being made under rabbinical supervision, but that they're the traditional style (with lots of garlic and dill) that would typically be served in a New York kosher deli. The label usually actually reads "Kosher style Dill" with the word style written very small.
__________
There is no dispute as to what is or isn't kosher. The only potential issue is that some people follow more strict standards. For example, cow milk in North America is considered kosher, however, some people will only drink milk that is 'chalav yisrael'. Chalav yisrael is a certification given to milk where the whole process of production is supervised by a 'mashgiach' (an orthodox observant Jew who is an expert on the laws of kashrut). A mashgiach can be a rabbi but that is not required. One of the only ingredients that could render a pickle not kosher is the type of vinegar used if a vinegar brine is used.
Why do McDonald's put gherkins in their burgers?
Asked by Wiki User
The reason why McDonalds put gherkins in their burgers is because, with you the gherkins, the burgers would be classed as a dessert due to the high levels of sugar in their burgers.
Can you use garlic salt for canning pickles?
Asked by Wiki User
No, do not use garlic salt. Canning salt should be used as it is the purest salt on the market. Table salt and other salts contain additives that can cause clouding of pickling syrups, jams, and jellies. To obtain the garlic flavor you want add 1 garlic clove to the bottom of the jar before filling with pickles and juice.
