I would do that as a kid! Olives were my favorite food, all kinds, and I loved the brine from the canned black olives. They stopped buying them because of me, and hid the salt shaker.I just can't do it.
It reminds me of someone I know who drinks the juice from the can of black olives.![]()
Oh, me, too on the olives. I love them all as well. I think kalamata olives are my favorite. I use them and black olives to make olive tapenade.I would do that as a kid!

I tried using sauerkraut in a steamed rice cheese, but think I used too much. I don't quite remember, but I think it was 2 Tbls for the recipe, which was an average block. I don't like sauerkraut to begin, so maybe I just didn't like it? Always searching for that "just right" flavor and amount.


Your pickles look so yummy...
Recently, i devoured the last portion of my home-made pickled cauliflower, which was very good, tbh, and now i'm considering making either pickled cabbage, or cucumbers. But cabbage is too precious, and it would be a sacrilege, IMO. So... i'll make cucumbers, hehehe.
You go to Aldi sometimes right? They have the best green olives stuffed with either garlic, or jalepanos. I get the garlic stuffed- very mild garlic, like pickled, but sooo goodOh, me, too on the olives. I love them all as well. I think kalamata olives are my favorite.

I also hope you don't hate them!

I get their kalamatas, but the quality is sometimes off
I bought Kirby cucumbers and sliced them with some onions. I boiled vinegar and water with salt and pickling spices then poured it over the cucs/onions. Let them sit and cool and popped in the fridge. I will taste tomorrow but I really want to let them sit at least a week. I’m thinking worst case, they will be good for salad and sandwiches.I also hope you don't hate them!
What'd you use?
I wonder if pickling spices are the same as what's used for corned beef? I'd like to try simmering a seitan in those, so far I add some juniper berries blended, and a pinch of nutmeg, and slices of garlic, then wrap and steam in Instant Pot. I think a 'corned seitan' would be better if simmered, then bakedI bought Kirby cucumbers and sliced them with some onions.
