would you eat this? (restaurant, bbq, pickle, vinegar)

The other night, I left a jar of pickles out on the counter over night.

Would you eat them or toss them?

[George Chong]

I would eat them. They have been pickled.

[kaimuki]

I agree with George.

[Fontucky]

Highly acid environment = ok to eat.

eat....

I'd eat them. Pickles are preserved in brine, which is salt and vinegar and pickling spices. But that's just me. You do what makes you comfortable. I know people who throw food away if they don't put it away the minute they finish supper. If it was mayo, or milk, I'd probably dump it, but pickles? No.

I'd eat them, when you buy pickles in the sotre most of them are not in the fridge anyway except for the claussen brand.

Why would you toss them???

[KittenSparkles]

Ok, I will eat them! If you don't see any further posts from me on C-D, it means I dropped dead from food poisoning!!

LOL

I've seen them served at a local BBQ restaurant chain in a condiment area that is not refrigerated.
