If someone just said "pickle", then I'm 100% picturing Branston Pickle, not a gherkin or pickled onion.

A few weeks into living on my own for the first time, I dropped and smashed a jar of jam. Being excessively thrifty, I tried to recover as much of the jam as I could.

Given it was crunchier than before, and I had a sore throat afterwards, I conclude that this as not a great idea.
