Pickled onions

[king_tubby]

Right, I need help. Does any commercial enterprise sell pickled onions that aren't a load of bland soft crap? Look, I know, I've been spoilt, I grew up on home made pickled onions - brown as night and crunchy as a motherfucker, but my selfish father refuses to let me have his stash, despite pleading. I have given making my own a go, they were great, but the house stunk of vinegar for weeks, and I can't find pickling onions in the shops for love nor money anyway.

So please, help me out. I've just had some cheese and biscuits with Morrison's own brand and a man should really not have to live like this.

Barry Norman's pickled onions are great but I cant find them anywhere anymore.

I'm having a very vigorous Pavlovian response to just the thought of pickled onions. I've never even thought of looking for them in an American supermarket, but tonight I'm going to scour the aisles. PICKLED ONIONS

Pickled onions are delicious, but bear in mind that they're not vegetarian - they are made from the onions of cows.

I'm partial to a pickled onion, but it's all about the homemade pickled eggs.

I get all my pickles from a woman at a car boot sale. A lot of car boots seem to have some woman selling home made pickles, preserves or cakes at them. My advice, try a car boot sale. However, be forewarned, I once had a pickled egg with a runny yolk. This egg was bought from a car boot sale.

Buelligan has a recipe.

I made it.

It was pretty good.

We put them in stuff until they were gone.

I love onions. I want to touch and smell his hair.

I have always preferred pickled pickles. They are so much nicer than non-pickled pickles. Why did they have to start pickling things which aren't pickles?

Shallots ftw

Pickled walnuts. Phwoar!

Garners are fantastic.

Garners are fantastic.

Found a jar of these in me mam's cupboard today and had some with lunch. Can confirm - perfect crunch.

Pickled onion flavoured things (esp Monster Munch) good. Real pickled onions bad. Even I can't explain that one.

As a side note, I'm disappointed to see that the word pickle is starting to supersede gherkin over here due to those Americans. My dad on the other hand calls them wallies, which I do appreciate.

Apparently you can get them from Tesco. £2.50 though, so they'd better be fantastic for that money. Are they really that good?

They are really very nice, spicy though.

The Lidl pickled onions in basalmic vinegar are nice too, nowhere as nice as homemade ones though. The Co-Op do a good pickling spice if you want to pep your own up.

I'll pick some up next time I do an online shop.

thanks.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

thanks.

Do you want anything else? One of those nice microwave curries maybe?

[H-O-W-L]

Aye, the Barry Norman ones are fucking fantastic.

[Glebe]

I much prefer BOIIIIILED ONIONS!

Pootle has let himself go.

I also am here to profess love for Barry Norman's. Haywards hot and spicy brand are also belting.
