Today is November 14 Pickle Day observed every year. For thousands of years, pickles have been a popular food dating back to 2030 B.C. At that time, cucumbers were imported from India to the Tigris Valley where they were first preserved and eaten as pickles.
“Pickle” is a common name for pickled cucumbers in the United States and Canada. In the United Kingdom and Australia pickled cucumber are usually called gherkins. French pickles made from small cucumbers pickled in vinegar and tarragon are referred to as cornichons.
Each year in the United States, approximately 5,200,000 pounds of pickles are consumed and on a stick at festivals, fairs or carnivals, pickles are sometimes known as “stick pickles”.
Today you can make some pickle or buy some. And consume as much as you can, you can gift to your neighbor, family members and friends.
