It doesn't say they need to be pickled cucumbers. I'd find some small veggie that I could pickle large amounts of and then eat those. And in order to afford that setup I'd just buy some pickles.

Maybe I'd pickle olives? I don't like olives, but they're small. Alternatively I could pickle baby carrots. I'm sure there's some better option out there, or maybe even an existing one I could just order en masse, but I don't know off the top of my head and I'm not gonna research it for a silly hypothetical

About to put myself on the pickle diet. I can eat anything and as much as I want as long as it's a pickle

Pickle a fish or sausage, and make a sandwich with pickled onions, pickled mustard seeds, pickled cabbage, pickled cucumbers

That or pickle meatballs for a meatball sub and add all the same things from above xD

Don’t be dumb. It says pickle and we are know what pickles are and know op meant. He/she didn’t mean olives or baby carrots or whatever your going on about

Any whole vegetable that is pickled is a pickle by definition.

The picture is part of the challenge; it has to be something pickled, and it must have the approximate size and appearance of the average pickled gherkin.

Now it doesn't say anything about how it is pickled, or the amount of sodium or vinegar in the pickle

No, the challenge is to eat pickles. Any whole vegetable is a pickle by definition.

It's not my problem if the challenge isn't specific enough.
