    tbh, uk gerkins suck ass, especialy mcdonald ones.

    if you want propper gerkins you need to find a jewish or german deli

    given I've never seen a german deli in london, you're kinda stuck with jewish ones.

    Still, a propper dill is delicious!

    Burger King + extra pickles + a smile = a happy Lee

    Pickle's are 1 of my favourite foods. I blame my mother as she apparently ate loads of pickled onions and gerkins etc while pregnant with me so I expect that's rubbed off slightly.

    Gherkins, yum.

    Pickled silverskin onions, yum. Pickled cabbage (sauerkraut), yum. Cornichons, yum. Pickled herring, yum.

    My desert island ingredient - got to be vinegar.

    Anyone like pickled eggs?

    Pickle pickle pickle pickle, nothing that tste good never came out of a pickle, I believe gherkins are evil, they look evil, smell evil, taste evil so they MUST be evil do the math

    evil looks + evil smell x evil taste = evil in "food" form

    With fish & chips you can never go wrong with a gherkin or saveloy to top it off.
    Gherkins also go nicely with salads, at first impression it looks just like another green and boring veggie, but oh no... it's a gherkin
    Never satisfied with the two slices chucked in at McDonalds either...
