Gherkins.....

[coggles]

Following on from Brawburds Marmite question, I am watching my 17 month old munching happily on a gherkin, and wondering whether most people love or hate them. I think they are delicious and always have a large jar of them in the fridge.

i like them a lot. i used to love them but realised it was only schoolboy lust.

Like them

[brawburd]

love 'em, especially the ones Ikea sell. Like your wee one Coggles, my friend's daughter had unusual tastes for a child. From about the age of 3 she would sit and eat a jar of pickled cockles, then would drink the vinegar if no-one was quick enough to take the jar away.

midget gherkins are best

[IndieSinger]

Gherkins are a fantastic invention. Mmm. And also, when all the gherkins have been eaten, I keep the juice in the jar and drink it neat.

[Janetex]

I love gherkins.

Your all warped and sick individuals.......I'm off for a branston and salad cream sandwich.

[woofgang]

love. M and S dill ones are super when I am in a sweet mood, midgets in vinegar for those sharper moments and cornichons when I am feeling posh. Also who can turn down a poke of chips and a wally?

[woofgang]

coggles, does your evidently advanced and superior son like olives as well?

[coggles]

Thank you all for your answers. Woofgang, she probably would like olives (or olivers, as our 4 yr old daughter calls them) but I haven't tried her on them. Probably because I can't stand them, but my husband eats them all the time, so shall let her have a try. Sft, that sandwhich sounds delish. Brawburd, she would probably like cockles too, but they are another thing I don't like so shall have to wait until my dad buys his next lot of cockles. Indie, i love the juice they are in too. It's good to have you back BTW.

I hate gherkins & olives. When my youngest son was small he loved beetroot. If we went out for tea he would gaze all around the table & not spotting his favourite, looked sternly at the host & demanded "Bee-boo!"

[coggles]

Mmmmm, beetroot, delicious.....

[Jenny Tools]

So glad I read this thread, I always thought I was a wally for liking them !

[coggles]

So, J.T. looks like there are fellow wally wallies out there!

[Tat]

i love them. especially midget ones as then i can pretend i'm a giant. *tee hee*, i'm so easily pleased!

[coggles]

Hello Tat, would that be pickled midgets and pickled eggs.....?

[Tat]

never tried a pickled egg... but a boiled quail's egg will make me laugh like a loon. as for pickled midgets - YUMMY!
