Fermented Foods and Pickles

Depends on the pickle. I use pickled jalapenos with alot of recipies. They have a lot of zing to add to a dish. Totally different from fresh or store bought. Depends on what you want in a dish.

Saurkraut goes with sausage. I guess it wouldn't matter for most dishes but I fucking love sausages so a couple of tablespoons with a sausage and a mustard is pretty rad

Kimchi and ginger are horses of a different color, very much a side to Asian dishes. Some people like those really crunchy vinegary vegetables others don't. I do throw my really really spicy kimchi in a bowl of ramen or whatever sometimes. Depends on the mood.

Bread and butter pickles are good in just about any usual pickle application. Use them all the time.

So, ez salted cucumbers.
Small fresh cucumbers, salt, herbs, clean plastic bag.
Add, shake, forget in the fridge for 2 days, eat with rice and a simple fried fish (fish, salt, flour).

i love sauerkraut so fucking much

boil some diced beetroots in vinegar salt water. Beetroots will be so-so, maybe ok to add as a side to homemade fried potatoes, but the brine man. YES

Use iodized salt.

Does your country have that type of ready-to-eat canned beans which are actually [baked], nice big and tender beans are placed in fried carrot + onion + tomatoes and own stew juice and not just some dyed corn slime? Sure does. This type tastes great in left out on a counter to ferment a bit. Even so if it had chilis too. Couldn't replicate that out of home made one.

have a hot sauce going right now, garlic jalepeno and a couple random small sweet peppers. used a small plastic funnel to hold it all down. Does anyone use any of those lids they sell online with the nipple so you don't have to burp. are they worth it? They seem spendy

sorry about the retarded resolutions my old android camera takes. cant figure out how to tell it to stop.

two days later, getting cloudy

>Couldn't replicate that out of home made one

Wtf? Make baked beans. Can them. Open jar and leave on counter to ferment. What are you on about m80? How is that impossible to do at home?
