Do you like pickled vegetables?

Even if you like what most Americans refer to as pickles, which are pickled cucumbers, do you like any other pickled vegetables, if so which ones, and do you have any recipes you can link?

I was just posting on another Q and I brought up Banh Mi Sandwiches which usually feature pickled carrots and daikon. I’ve made my own vegetarian versions of banh mi sammies, and the pickled veggies really give them a wonderful, distinctive flavor.

When I was a kid, I would not touch any pickled vegetables except pickled cucumbers. When I was in my 20’s and became a vegetarian, a whole new world of wonderful foods was opened up to me, and pickled vegetables became an option that changed my whole attitude about food. Now I love almost all pickled veggies.

I have to say that I have yet to find a pickled beet that I enjoy. That is mostly due to the fact that I haven’t looked very hard to find one. I like raw beets, and roasted beets, but most of the pickled beets you see, are still the mushy canned beets that you used to see in 70’s era salad bars. Yuck!

Anyway, I have eaten, and made, all sorts of pickled vegetables and I love them. Most of the ones I’ve made were of the “quick pickle” or “refrigerator pickle” variety. This chef doesn’t do canning. I especially like pickled carrots, and pickled garlic.

So, do any of you like pickled veggies?
