Sweet Gherkins.
I was today years old when I realized these had a name. I called them baby pickles.
I had them once in my early 20s. I was at some fancy dress party and they were an Hors d'oeuvre served along with some sort of fancy charcuterie before we called it charcuterie.
I thought they were delicious, sweet baby pickles. I seriously loved them, couldn't get enough. However, i'm not the type who gets invited to or attends fancy dress parties, and me thinking they were somehow exclusive to fancy dress parties, I never had them again and never really ever thought about them again.
They were referenced on an episode of Brooklyn 99 once (when Jake was attending a fancy dress party with captain holt) and that made me remember them, but that moment was fleeting and they were soon forgotten again.
So i'm out grocery shopping and needing relish for my hotdogs when I see, sitting there in the pickle aisle a jar of sweet gherkins. Apparently that's what they are called. These things have been sitting in the pickle aisle of every damn grocery store on earth for 20+ years and I could have at any fucking time just bought a jar and ate them as much as I wanted. AND they aren't even expensive at all. Even with bidenomic prices these things are only like $3 a jar. They cost less than a bottle of ketchup.
So I bought 5 jars and have been eating them nonstop. Thought I would of got tired of them by now, but nope. They are fucking delicious
