Comment on Can you survive on pickles alone, for a while?

Hell nah. Pickled onion is really good on a burger. I wish it was more common.

I … I can’t … I … am I smoking salvia?
Pickled onions may be good if you ask for it. I’m not arguing about the flavor lmao. I’m saying 100% of people who ask for “pickles” without further elaboration are expecting pickled cucumbers because that’s what’s meant by “pickles” here in the US. It’s how they’re labeled on menus, packaging including jars, advertising, literature, movies, comics, and all other forms of media.
NO ONE anywhere in the US means “pickled onions” when they say “pickles.” No one.

Oh lol. I was like “If I asked for onions and got picked onions that’d be awesome” not if I asked for pickles and got pickled onions. Yeah, that would be a problem. “Yo, where’s my pickle?”

I agree that pickled onions are good, though
Underappreciated condiment

Just as well that I am not in the US then.

Understandable! I was just frustrated with that other person for a second because I wrote a paragraph about what “pickles” means in the US, which seemed to go ignored. But we cleared it up lol
