pickle. We would do it in a field and then you imagine the cucumber vines growing around me, oh no around me, better you know, in the background, hawks buzzing, rabbits jumping, okay, some people. like the completely

sour

one but for me it's a little - I like it a little too soft the completely sour one for me a pickle should be bright in color and pleasantly

crunchy

The percentages, so I'll use 3.5% and 2 quarts, so we'll need 66 grams of salt, we'll put it right there. here Vinnie, I'm going to turn this around for the sake of television, so we'll save the right 66 grams, that's okay up up up 60 67 and then I'll just add the water that I use, it's like room temperature, you know.
