泡菜, 腌黄瓜
a vegetable, usually a small cucumber, that is preserved in salt water or vinegar
A pickle is a food that has been preserved in a brine solution, typically consisting of vinegar, water, salt, and sometimes sugar, along with herbs and spices for flavor. The most common type of pickle is a cucumber pickle, but other vegetables and fruits can also be pickled. Pickles can be sweet, sour, or spicy, depending on the ingredients used in the brine. They are enjoyed as a snack, condiment, or side dish and add a tangy and flavorful element to meals. Pickles can also be used in sandwiches, salads, and relishes, providing a crunchy texture and a burst of flavor.
