I'm giving them 6-8 years to get to that. Sorry, the time it takes to build 3 football fields.

What's the difference between a chickpea and a lentil?

I did not think of the issue this way. Great answer, but I want to know, how could one change their entire view so suddenly. Like if one has grown up knowing that worshipping X is the correct way, only to be told that they have to worship Y now, which the person never believed to be a god anyway. So would the person not feel that they are getting in the wrong books of the god and probably ruining their afterlife, only to worship god Y in whom they don't believe anyway, and so is fruitless.

Yep. Pickles are called vinegar-cocumber in Germany.

There are multiple brands of cornichons in every major Australian supermarket I've ever been in.

They also say garbanzo beans, where chickpeas would suffice :)

It's the same in Australia. The person you're replying to has no idea what they're talking about.

So you've clearly never looked at the pickle section of a woolies or coles?

In India we actually do mention 'cow milk' because the most commonly produced and consumed variety of milk is buffalo milk. Commercially produced milk is overwhelmingly from buffalo.

Incorrect. In aus, cornichons are the little teeny tiny Pickles.

Exactly this, it is slang to call something by its shorter name because vast majority knows what is referred to. If you deviate from the norm then you have to specify the exact produce, goat milk for example.

Honestly lacto-fermentation adds a ton of flavor and it's probiotic. Vinegar pickles just don't stand up and (in an apparent reversal of half this thread's opinions) I don't think they even deserve to be called "pickles"

Go to woolies and look at the jars of little pickled cucumbers at least a couple will be labelled as cornichons.

Kids don't keep secrets very well

Often times the penalty for not following the new religion was death. Most would fall in line, some would not. Of those who did not, some would get caught and some would flee to an area where they could freely practice the old religion. After a generation, the cycle would continue. Some would convert, some would get caught, some would flee. Over the course of generations, this would eventually lead to very few people still secretly practicing the old religion. In other cases, many followers of the old religion would simply be rounded up and killed before they knew to hide, similar to what happened to the jews under nazi rule. As this is one of the largest and most recent examples of religious purification, reading up on this history could provide you with a more detailed answer.

You only need to see your neighbours kid get killed for blasphemy to think it's not worth the risk

Pickled red onions are awesome!

> Pickled herring is basically the only other thing I can think of

Check out: pickled tomatoes, pickled peppers, pickled red onion (this one is crazy simple to make so you have always in fridge to use for burgers, condiments to other meats and foods).

in other languages, they are called exactly that, but sometimes the English language is a bit dumb..

Sauerkraut is not pickled, sauerkraut is fermented. Pickles = to marinate in vinegar.

Sauerkraut is indeed a pickle. TIL.

Check out Mythbusters. They did a show with pigeons and a model helicopter in a truck to test whether the truck became lighter when things inside the truck were in flight.

They tested the pigeons and the helicopter separately otherwise things might have got a bit messy.

I think that is due to differentiate between what kind of pickling ingredients/methods have been used. To pickle something refers to marinating something in vinegar.

Pickled beets are the most common way to eat beets too
