Radical Eats is obsessed with Cucumbers and Squash
What we are doing is perfectly legal.
Take a Sugarland farmer with a bumpercrop of cucumbers and an industrious vegan kitchen and what do you get? A pickle business! There are two kinds of pickles you see, the kind you put up and the kind you refrigerate. Put up pickles can be put in the pantry where refrigerator pickles have to stay cold. There are advantages to both say I.
Put up pickles will last through the apocolypse and the canabalistic zomboid take-over that will inevitably follow, and refrigerator pickles will only be good for about a week after the power goes out. (The Revolution will not be Frionized)
However, refrigerator pickles are crisper and taste fresher hands down.
But Pickling isn’t just about cucumbers; it’s about bumper crops. What to do when you have too much of something beautiful that’s about to go bad. Like the brain of a mad scientist or a beloved pet you would want to preserve it in a jar. Think cauliflower, beets, okra, squash. The possibilities are mind-boggling. I once had some eggplant caponata that was put up in Sardenia. It was heaven. I want to take you there. Texas Style.
