Goddamnit UK, why do you have to give everything such idiotic names? And I thought filberts was the worst name for hazelnuts.

Actually, you're wrong, in America, we have access to mulitiple types of pickles, including gherkins. Sounds like you're missing out.

No, we call gherkins "gherkins", because they're a specific type of pickle, you dolt. Just like we call cornichons "cornichons", half sours "half sours", polish dills "polish", bread and butter pickles "bread and butter", etc etc. And those are just cucumber pickles. I don't think you csn even realize the amount and variety of pickled foods we eat.

Yes indeed. Not my pic, just a stock photo from simplyrecipes, but that's how my mom makes them. It's a nice variation from your usual hard-boiled or deviled eggs.
