My friend is home visiting family in Ballyclare and just sent me this photo of the pickled onion range available at her local shop 😂

@TheBreadmonkey This just gave me an idea. Print a bunch of stickers like these and stick them in random jars inside the fridges at my friends' houses.

They seem gift & cheese orientated, but have chutney, alcohol – and fudge!
Never seen them.
Ballyclare in Co. Antrim?
That's the one
@TheBreadmonkey
I'm curious about the four vase on the right. What the label says? Pick my what?
one of the things i love when going to a country i've not been to before is go right to the local convenience food store and hitting the pickles, snacks, and drinks aisles.
most grocery stores have pretty similar stuff (modulo local fresh produce). but it's in those snack aisles that different cultures most proudly strut their weird and unique.
there are things in the UK, japan, belgium, etc. where i look forward to the trip partially because of the snack foods i'll find only there.
@TheBreadmonkey their cheese must be...interesting
@TheBreadmonkey We used to call each other 'ring stingers' in High School lol
@TheBreadmonkey how to tell you're a white person, 😂
@TheBreadmonkey @paco I’m curious about crunchy pickled onions. Do you eat them whole like regular dill pickles, or do you slice them up for sandwiches and stuff (or maybe both)?
@TheBreadmonkey @paco You eat snakes whole?! 😉
well, eating a snake whole does make you fart less than a pickled onion... ;)
@TheBreadmonkey the chuckling cheese company? more like the cutting cheese company
@TheBreadmonkey I saw a huge glass of pickled onions in the LH lounge of Heathrow years ago and was contemplating what would happen if anyone at any of those and went up to 30000 feet with much less air pressure. This could accelerate even a Concorde...
