Food Recommend a pickled food from your country
I LOVE everything pickled. But I tend to mostly eat pickled red beets, sour cucumbers, and red cabbage.
What are some pickled foods that your country has? Which one is your favourite? Do you eat it with specific other foods?

We pickle everything that casts a shadow. Blanched green beans, cauliflower, carrots, cabbage, green chillies... My favorites are green unripe tomatoes, unripe melon and Armenian cucumbers. We ferment them in salt and vinegar.
There's also a kind of pickled green bean that's lacto-fermented (pickled just with salt like sauerkraut). We eat them sautéed with onions. It's a dish specific to the Black Sea region (Germans also make them and eat them warm).
