Pickled
Perfection
The word " pickle " comes from the Dutch pekel or German pókel, meaning " salt " or
" brine, " a key component in the pickling process. One of mankind's earliest ways to
preserve produce, pickled foods helped satisfy hungry sailors and travelers while adding
variety to meals during long winter months.
