Pickle

A Pickle  was a Cucumber or other vegetable which had been preserved using a brine, vinegar, or other liquid solution. They were often seasoned with dill or mustard seeds, to create a crunchy and intensely flavored food. Pickles were often served alongside other food to add acidity and texture. A meal in a tavern may come with a pickle on the side of the plate, which some patrons may eagerly eat on its own.
