Are sliced pickled cucumbers not a thing here? I would have sliced pickles with mustard with roast beef for example

Same, I used to pull them out of a Big Mac, like them now though.
Just a lasagne, was really nice for inexpensive grub. I dont think it was quite as good as my homemade though.
Bet it didn't take you as long to make either! Ready meals (eaten sparingly) have their place.
If memory serves me correctly, Gherkins are done in brine. Pickles use vinegar along with herbs and spices. Cornichons are pickles just a much smaller version. Of course, happy to stand corrected

Other way round, gherkins are pickled in vinegar and pickles are in brine.
Gherkins and cornichons are both pickled and there’s only really one variety. Pickles are often fermented. The Maccies pickles are fermented dill pickles.

Quick bite to eat! Little fakeaway.
Shawarma Kebab (Plantbased), GreekStyle Flatbreads/Wrap with Fresh Coriander and a generous amount of Sriracha Chilli Mayo Sauce.
It was wonderful, Coriander added freshness! Next time I’ll not be lazy and add in some white fresh onions, pickled chilli’s etc but quickly chucked it together with a demanding toddler at my feet!

They go well with salt beef and pastrami too. I’m pretty sure a doorstep sandwich with heaps of pastrami, pickles and yellow mustard on rye bread is a New York deli classicI would eat pickled gherkins with this....

Is that mayo?Oven roast veg with paprika cumin coriander and ginger, pumpkin seeds and chickpeas with a tahini lemon and olive oil dressing with a side of flatbread
