Pickled onions anyone ??

[Dave7]

Just enjoyed a roast beef butty with lots of pickled onions.
I know its not healthy but......
When I was a kid (aged 13sh) I would often have a pickled onion butty....nothing else, just pickled onion.

I may just have regressed

I'd never considered pickled onions to be unhealthy?

I know the pickling process involves a fair bit of sugar and salt, but I don't think it takes away from the nutrients of an onion?

Home pickled onions are just delicious as are pickled brussel sprouts.

With cheese in sandwich (butty to northerners)

I assumed all that acid/vinegar must be unhealthy.

I like them, but not enough to sandwich them. They make epic farts.

Could be? I reckon we need @Fab Foodie for guidance.

Love me a pickled onion, and pickled eggs were a revelation when I discovered them not too long ago!

I agree about pickled onions and I would try brussel sprouts if I ever saw them.
Do you perchance do your own pickling?

I have done in the past but not in a while. One of those things on my list of things to do again.

Never tried or fancied trying a pickled egg.

Neither had I. But seriously. Lovely.

Likewise, never tried, I'm told they are fab but I can't bring myself to try one.

A friend used to make batches of Pickled onions each year and she used to add chillies to the picking vinegar. The picked onions were legendary. Deceptively normal on first bite, and then the gradual build up of heat until eyes were watering.

Don't smoke or stand beside the fire when eating pickled onions.

I would give these a go (when the house is empty)
