I kept hearing you damn A*glos talk about this stuff, so when I saw an upscale supermarket carrying it with only a moderately raised price I gave it a try, and yeah, it's pretty good. It's really distinctive, so there's a whole lot of foods I would not pair it with, but on a simple sandwich with cheese and greens it's great.

Giardiniera is vegetables other than cucumber put in a vinegar brine. Stir, I guess you could call it pickled, but to call it a pickle is misleading. When you say pickles people only think of pickled cucumbers. You ask me if I want a pickle and put a piece of broccoli in front of me, sometimes getting smacked upside the dome, capish?

There's no such thing as a savory gherkin. The term "gherkin" literally just means sweet pickled small cucumber. "Pickling", yes, means anything that's pickled. But without a qualifier, like "pickled eggs" or "pickled peppers", if you just say "a pickle", 99.999% of humanity will just think of a savory, salty, sour pickled cucumber with bumps on it. Don't be a pedantic retard, just get with reality.

American here and I love this stuff. Some of this with an aged crumbly British cheddar is just delicious. It goes well with any sharp cheddar but the British one is best (and you can usually find that in the specialty cheese section).

Cheese and pickle sandwich is good too. I love everyday British foods like this, to be honest. Even beans on toast is great when it's done right (toast has to be buttered, and I add Worcestershire, salt, pepper, some shredded cheddar, sometimes HP sauce).

On the contrary, the idea of a unified empire with its colonies being controlled by the metropole is a product of the British and others like them. One monarch being the head of state of multiple wholly independent nations is how things were before the empire. Either way, wow, holy shit, I never realised they taught you retards the Australia and Canada are colonies of the UK.
>to the vast majority of English speakers
Only a small minority of English speakers live in the US and Canada, which appears to be the only place where pickle exclusively and most obviously means pickled gherkins.
