Texas Says 'Pickles' Only Come From Cucumbers. So This Far Went Bust - General

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2yzW5lXzrw

Only cucumbers can be considered pickles. In the fucking south. Where they pickle pretty much everything, including eggs.

That's ridiculous. I would argue that only pickled cucumbers should be called pickles, just because it should be clear what you're buying, but there's literally nothing wrong with selling pickled beets or pickled any other food as long as that's what it's labeled as.

What about pickled pickles

it cancels out and they become cucumbers again

Can they not make relish or savoury jams either or are they also not covered by the Cottage Food Law?

0:53 His sign says buttnuggets.

Why don't they just called pickled cucumbers 'Gherkins' like we do? It seems preposterous that they're being so narrow-minded about what pickling is.

You don't know the half of it. We fucking love pickles here. We sell single pickles at movie theaters and gas stations, have pickled flavored snowcones, and just straight up sell frozen pickle juice. For the pickle flavored snowcones some places just stick an actual pickle in the ice to help with flavor

Really heartening to hear that they're getting legal help pro bono, so hopefully something good comes of their case.

My grandparents pickle eggs

Pickles are mummified cucumbers

and one day you will pickle your grandparents, as is tradition

Mummies are just pickled corpses.

Wait so are we gate keeping pickles now?

why is criticism of the government inherently bad? they have a good point imo

that's not really what ensign said at all reading the channel's about page makes it really obvious that they're a libertarian propaganda outlet. They only care about this subject in as much as it demonstrates their ideology, that all regulation is bad because it's anti-competitive and distorts the market. The whole point of the video is to provide a really simple example for the sake of appealing to the uninitiated. It's not about them criticizing the government; you don't have to be a libertarian to call out bad regulation. On the other hand, libertarians tend to hate all regulation regardless and it's obvious to see how this video is intended to push you in that direction.

i legit thought this was the onion, jesus fucking christ

Dude, yes. I work at a bigfoot gas station, had to restock a bunch of pickles packs. We got spicy pickles, tangy pickes...we got sour sis pickes and big papa pickles...so many fucking pickles.

I've seen that kind of shit in general whether it be entire jars of spicy pickles or just a single pack. It's pretty damn mind boggling even though I live here.

Not the biggest pickle fan myself, but will say I fucking love me some fried pickles. I just don't know how people can eat a pickle by itself...to me it's a food that needs to be preped in some way or used with other foods...not just by itself.

I know people who drink pickle juice I can probably eat a jar of pickles in a sitting just because they're genuinely delicious as fuck

You're Canadian, you don't count. Jking. I just never been a big fan of em by themselves. Like em fried with some ranch sauce or jalapeno sauce

IDEA Support them on Patreon and if you're at the $5 reward tier you're entitled to come to their stall and receive a gift of pickled beets.

They should just label their product as sour beet preserves. Got eeem!

Regulations like this can suck but I'd rather have laws that are a little overzealous than go back to what was happening before this shit was in place. They never actually say what the class teaches you, and since they didn't take the class they don't tell you what's in it, only that it has "nothing to do with pickling" which they can't know if they didn't take it. As Ensign said, pickles are a potentially dangerous food because of botulism due to the lack of oxygen, and I don't know about you guys but I don't like people potentially selling botulism flavored pickles. Regulation is absolutely nessesary unless you want to gamble with your food every single time you eat anything. Just ask anyone working food for more than a couple years about how lax some managers will get with food safety and you'll understand. 700 bucks is a bit steep though, and the classes should be offered more often or they should offer an exam instead for those who can't make it.

Oh dude, I had a manger at a waffle house try to make lie to the health inspector about the roaches. I didn't. I was honest and told her I try to clean the resturant the best I can, but I get no help from anyone. (I was overnight everyday trying to clean a restaurant on football weeks in a small town in Georgia.)

A couple Pickle chips or a spear is a good post-sandwich palette cleanser.

That's true, but to me that's not a pickle just by itself.
