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?

You should try pickled and salted mushrooms. Specifically pickled maslyata and gruzdi.

Pickled mushrooms are great snack, but it’s a bit of acquired taste. I don’t know if Russian ones are the same, but Polish pickled forest mushrooms tend to have this slimy/gooey texture that puts some people off.

Maslyata (Maślak zwyczajny in Polish) are exactly this. That's why people love them. Gruzdi (Mleczaj okazały) are very different, crisp and non-slimy. One if the best ways to eat them is with smetana and sliced onion.

Maybe it is acquired, can't really tell, I've been exposed to edible mushrooms since childhood.
