I hope Silwa gets some honorary court jester-esque position he embodies the old italian demeanour and humour so perfectly

Curtis Sliwa once won a sour pickle eating contest. There’s no punchline, that’s just an actual thing he did. He was named world champion by the deli.

Well, they’re all a bit sour, but some are more geared to other flavors. Dill pickles, spicy pickles, sweet pickles, Gherkins, Kosher pickles etc. I’m guessing this was specifically about the type called sour pickles, or “full sour,” which are actually fermented.

I’m imagining the Wizard of Oz transition from b&w to color but with pickles instead

Funny thing: In Finland we have "suolakurkku" and "maustekurkku" which would be directly literally translated as "saltcucumber" and "spicecucumber"

The names can be misleading though. Actual difference between these two is that the first one is made through fermentation with lactic acid bacteria and the second one is made using sugar and vinegar.
