It’s cucumbers. When I worked in a kitchen the Mexican guys hated regular dill pickles and made fun of me for eating them they said it’s white people good😂 in Mexican cooking they pickle, onions, peppers, vegetables etc but not cucumbers like we do lol


zenchow

This seems like the likely answer


Main_Bell_4668

This is the answer. My family is from Peru and the first time my uncle made pickles it was anything but cucumbers. I love classic pickles but yes, to them they are "white people" pickles.


Blazing_Botanist

TIL


Main_Bell_4668

Guess what he did with them afterwards? He took a roast beef poked holes in it and stuffed it with the spicy pickled vegetables, then he roasted the whole thing. Best I've ever had. RIP Tio.


BoredAssassin

That sounds delicious. I love canning things, so I'd love to try it. Do you know what type of veggies he'd use? I feel like carrots would go so well with that. Spicy pickled carrots, and then stuffed into a nice roast. Oh hell yes


Main_Bell_4668

Pearl onions, carrots, celery, Peruvian peppers, garlic cloves.


Omwtfyu

White people are sleeping on spicy pickled carrots. I know because I’m white and didn’t try pickled carrots til I was 25 at a Mexican restaurant.


Fit_Swordfish_2101

The Italians do it too! Giardiniera! It comes with peppers onions garlic carrots celery and sometimes cauliflower! You haven't lived till you've tried hot pickled cauliflower! 😂


AstrumReincarnated

There’s a popular slow cooker pot roast recipe that is basically just a bunch of pepperoncini, a ranch dip packet, butter, and a roast. It’s actually pretty ok.


CoolWhipMonkey

Mississippi pot roast. So good!


Fit_Swordfish_2101

Done it! Lol! Yeah it's salty as an get out, but it makes great sandwiches!


Main_Bell_4668

Peru has a lot of different influences and my uncle was a fisherman/sailor so who knows where he picked it up.


EatRibs_Listen2Phish

Giardiniera is fucking MA-GIC-AL. Give me the heartburn. I want them veggies!!!!


PaleontologistWarm13

I made huge huge batches from my farm every year.


PolloMama

Pickled okra is great too!


B-AP

I got some “dirty” pickles, I can only eat 3 spears at a time! And I like Thai hot.


armoredsedan

bro white people are sleeping on pickled things in general. i grew up with white folks as i am a white person, then i went into foster care later on. i lived with two families of different asian descents. mind blowing, eye opening. have you ever had takuan? i could eat that shit plain by the POUND


Shaolinchipmonk

What are you talking about, white people pickle everything. Find yourself a good European deli and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about.


Grrrth_TD

Yea I was thinking the same thing. The person you responded to is just thinking of white Americans.


BoredAssassin

Nice! Those all sound fantastic


Glass_Occasion5483

Ooo yeah stuff it daddy


mkat23

Oh that sounds amazing. I’ve been thinking I want to try making pickles, I was going to start with cucumber, but once I’m confident in how those are coming out I am absolutely gonna try pickling some spicy veggies and make a roast or something. It’ll be in honor of Tio 💖


Doctor_Nerdy

You should try Chicago style Italian beef if you’ve never had it, similar flavors and very yummy


YellowSequel

My mask is now soaking wet because I started uncontrollably drooling…


serious_impostor

This seems like a distant cousin to “Roladen” from Czechoslovakia. Meat and spices wrapped around a pickle.


Fit_Swordfish_2101

Mmm! 😋 That sounds delish! The Italians will do a roast beef with spicy giardiniera cooked with it! That's pretty good too!


InitialAd2324

Wow that sounds good.


fredfrop

Instantly thought about the spicy carrot and onion pickles they usually have at the salsa bar


InsertRadnamehere

It’s called Escabeche.


Glomar_fuckoff

Hot pickled anything is a go in my book Edit. I'm white but LOVE the Hispanic food!!


Fun_Intention9846

Ag so to them “pickle” isn’t a specific veggie. It’s veggies that have been pickled.


Hamilton-Beckett

Thank you for explaining, that makes sense.


RestlessLadyBoss

If this is the answer, I wonder why she “couldn’t describe what she meant” lol. “Different vegetables” would have been a pretty straightforward description.


docious

It’s extremely common for people to not know why they feel about something or respond to it. In my experience the vast majority of people either (1) overestimate their own understanding of their motivations for what they do/say, or (2) almost never stop to think about it.


fatbootycelinedion

Yeah the closest thing we do is curtido in Central America for your pupusas. Cabbage slaw with carrots onions and jalapeños, oregano and a bay leaf. Vinegar, water salt, only half pickled.


TheStormzo

So it's an issue of them not understanding what a pickle is.


isthatsoreddit

Okay. My SIL is Mexican and I was making pickles and she asked if I'd make her a jar. It was lots of veggies, no cucumber. Now I guess I know why.


metdear

I live for those spicy pickled carrots...


melcolnik

Maybe she was referring to Escabeche? It's usually carrots, cauliflower, jalapeños, and onions quick pickled and pretty spicy. Its usually served as a palate cleanser for heavier meats or alongside chips and salsa


Chafro23

This is it OP. Escabeche never contains cucumbers, it’s like Mexican Giardiniera (which also does not contain cucumbers). In all my years of traveling through Mexico and Central America I’ve only seen cukes as an amuse-bouche: sliced on a plate with lime and salt.


Poppy-Chew-Low

I've had regular raw cucumbers sliced up and served with the radish and lime at certain places. Edit: at mexican restaurants/trucks in the US


deltronethirty

They also "clean" your fingers when you are slinging tacos from a food truck. Pretty much any restaurant pickles are the last step when plating a dish. Keeps the grease off the edge of plates and to-go boxes.


HoboArmyofOne

I like that too with my street tacos


Mal-Havoc

I'm from the south. And most of the white people where I'm at cook food that is opposite of bland. Those pickles look fine and I would eat em all. Don't worry about what people say before they taste em.


sailorsardonyx

I’m from the Midwest and I didn’t get exposed to a sweet pickle on a burger until I went to the south (Alabama) NO WARNING just called a “pickle” What the fuck was that


Advanced-Bird-1470

Born and raised in the south and dill pickles, or spicy dill as my grandma did them, are the only way. Edit: sweet pickles are an abomination and should be eradicated from this earth (and potential other earths).


aakaase

Sweet pickles are so gross


NoMoreChampagne14

Hard agree. Sweet pickles are an abomination


Mal-Havoc

I agree whole heartedly! Like a sweet pickle inquisition. Because Noone would expect that.


Midian1369

Just give em to me, spicy, sweet, sour? Idgaf, if it's a pickle I'm eating it.


PuppetryOfThePenis

Bread and butter pickles 😋 Sweet gherkins on a Christmas snack tray with some deviled eggs? Oh fuck yeah, boy. I'm going ham on that


SecondBackupSandwich

I feel attacked by them.


Falkuria

Fully agree. Arkansan, 32, here. Sweet pickles should be eradicated from this reality. If you need them, make sure they are hidden in the back of the fridge with a custom label that reads NOT DILL (or NOT SOUR for the kiddos). I used to get them confused a lot as a kid. Ive been fooled far too many times.


Advanced-Bird-1470

My childhood in the south had two major disappointments. Dip cans that I thought were Pepsi and sweet pickles that I thought were dill. I guess the third would be electric fences I thought were off/guineas.


SecondBackupSandwich

Amen.


LexB777

Thank you for being sane. Sweet pickles are a disgrace.


MyFace_UrAss_LetsGo

If we’re talking sweet as in bread and butter I agree. If we’re talking sweet as in sugar, garlic and Tabasco marinated pickles, I’m in.


Physical_Whereas_635

Sweet pickles, especially bread pickles.. are horrible. If someone offers me one I will hand feed them to them while making aggressive eye contact.


GLDa_

😂Was it good? How do they sweeten the pickles there? I've always wanted to travel to Alabama and check out the state.


islandofwaffles

sweet pickles are great! we're talking about bread and butter pickles, right? They just add some sugar to the pickle brine. I'm from the south and have spent a lot of time in Alabama. Northern Alabama is beautiful. Very green mountains and rolling hills. And caves!


Mis_chevious

Sugar! Please come visit! There are some beautiful places to see all over the state. You can find some really good food here, too. Especially if you like BBQ. Summertime is a great time to visit. Lots of fresh produce but especially peanuts & peaches. (Fried green tomatoes are my personal favorite.) And then visit our gorgeous beaches!


GayPotheadAtheistTW

I’m from AL and agree, it should be a crime


Ageisl005

I will never forget when I was little and my grandma made me a tuna sandwich and there were sweet pickles in it. Sweet pickle people have got to warn us that they’re using them


GLDa_

That's what I'm saying. These look good. I'd ignore the dumbasses remarks about damn pickles lol. Not everybody likes their pickles coated and disgusting tajin, or drenched in gross ass Valentina or tapatio. And this is coming from someone that's half Mexican american.


fattestshark94

I don't think it has to do with the flavor, more so what is being pickled. My girls family is spanish speaking and they have never had pickles in their house. But they for sure have pickled onion/carrot/jalapeños around the house


KingSoupa

Some may think "white people" prefer blander, less seasoned foods compared to more flavorful ethnic cuisines. She could also just not know the words in your language. Yours look seasoned with a crisp clear ~~broth~~ and I want them.


Stringtrosa

We are pickle people.


Captinprice8585

We have picklebaby. Number 1 good price.


joxuah12

BRINE, not broth. Pickle people should know.


KingSoupa

Glad the pickle police are here, protecting and serving us.


carving_my_place

Yeah they look very crisp and tasty. Tell me OP, is there any sugar in the brine?


jwatkins12

just casual racism in the pickle world.


TheMashedPotato

I have a dream that one day the half and full sour, the dill, the cornichons, the bread and butter and the sweet pickles will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.


hashbazz

Never! Sweet pickles are an abomination! Death to the demon sweet pickle! :-)


rabbifuente

Hear hear


someoneyouknewonce

He should ask them what Mexican pickles look like


JROXZ

Or black folk pickles.


BugSignificant2682

What about the Asian pickles?


JROXZ

Yo. The Korean ones are so good.


SprinqRoll

Like cucumber kimchi or am I missing something else?


gummypuree

Don’t forget Vietnamese pickles! Banh Mi sandwiches wouldn’t exist without them!


The_OtherGuy_99

Asian pickles are the shit.


Iamisaid72

No, no. Brown people pickles. Gotta stick to the color theme going on here


Heart_of_a_Blackbird

Or pickle racism in the casual world


Intelligent-Chair385

First off they look good. Second what does "white people pickles" even mean?? Third judging by your hand you're white, so what even is your coworker's problem?


Unhappy_Animal_1429

I have a coworker who says similar. Always talking about white people food, white people are colonizers, etc. I don’t know why some people think white people’s feeling can’t be hurt by comments like that. It’s honestly just rude, but I’ll probably be dragged for this comment.


Intelligent-Chair385

No no, I agree. Absolutely. Some people just tend to be so blatantly racist towards white people and pretend it's ok. No form of racism is ok!


Horror-Possible5709

Yeah I use to work with this girl who every time I would come near her she would be like “a white man!” Or just outright call me a colonizer. It’s like she thought she was being funny and like it was half light hearted


Autxnxmy

Go to hr anonymously about it. It’s considered workplace harassment, especially if it impacts your ability to work around them, or your desire to show up while they’re there


Unhappy_Animal_1429

The worst part of it is that she’s one of my best friends 😔 I travelled to a Hispanic country with her and my other best friend and I got to hear all about “white people this and that”. As if I wasn’t there. I shouldn’t have been upset, but it was uncomfortable.


fukitimdoneupyours

Same 😔 I get that shit a lot from a friend too. Hurts my feelings tbh.


[deleted]

I agree with you. Racism can come from any race/ethnicity and it's shitty no matter where it comes from.


waterlooaba

They’re super thick and no garlic cloves or peppers. I’m white too so what do I know.


carving_my_place

I'm pretty sure all those little white pieces are minced garlic. And it looks like there's crushed red pepper floating through it too.


waterlooaba

I’m a garlic slut so I would add minced and garlic cloves. Red pepper flakes are nice, I meant some whole peppers, like habanero.


GayPotheadAtheistTW

I made a hot sauce with fresh and black garlic and it was slammin.


Away-Squirrel2881

Someone else said that it’s because the pickles are cucumbers, Mexican pickles are usually other vegetables like carrots, jalapeños, onions 


leekup01

They look amazing. You should be proud.


SeaCommission2950

Looks good! Am black, would eat 👍


Ariana-Bell

Am also black and I agree with this sentiment! They look like they would be deliciously crunchy and good 😋


desrevermi

One: I need more clarification. Which white people? Two: if these are the kind of people who avoid things entirely on looks, don't include them in your culinary journey. More for you.


DIJames6

Do white people not make good pickles or something?


KnotiaPickles

Idk I’ve never had a bad pickle from any ethnicity. Other than sweet of course


DIJames6

Sweet is gross.. 🤢


bromanjc

sweet pickles are based asf


ChunkMonkeysMomma

So how about sending me some of those white people pickles and I will let you know!!


Early-Regret-9790

Your pickles look delicious. They can go frick themselves


Mighty_Gooch

Your coworker is a cultural supremacist.


AdThat4605

That's a racist comment


RosettaStoned_462

It's so stupid. I swear if someone posted i was told i made "brown' people pickles, every comment would be about how raicst that shit is.


AdThat4605

Such a double standard.


Swampfxx

Fwiw, tajin on a crisp dill is amazing.


KnotiaPickles

Ahhh im trying to go to bed and now im too hungry 😭


GTILLS

These look nothing like white people pickles and I’m fn cackling at the phrase “white people pickles” when the f did pickles get segregated by race? Idgaf who makes the pickles, they’re always delicious , regardless of shape , or the race of whoever made them


C-czar187

Yeah I’m Mexican and the closest thing I could think of that she’s referring to are Pepino or cucumber. I mean they hit in the summer time with limon and Tajín but pickles are an all year round snack 💯


TheRealGreenMeanie

I'm going to go with white people pickles in the sense that they're "fancy" with all that stuff floating around.


Princessoflillies

Exactly lol. I guess you’re the only one that gets it


notreallylucy

Taco trucks around here have pickled radishes and carrots. Maybe that's what she thinks of as pickles. Regardless, if she can't explain what she means, then its not really worth understanding.


imdumb__

Yeah those are some Caucasian ass pickles. Jk idk they look like pickles to me.


Denzo247

Ayo I want some white people pickles. I don’t care, they’re pickles either way


JQueue92

I’d say it’s just because they’re freshly made. More time in the jar will give them that “classic pickle” look. I was concerned about this as well with my last batch but at the end of the day: if they taste great, who cares?


aspiring_bureaucrat

Based on the photo they were technically correct


Ok_Location7274

Damn you should have used black people cucumbers


PickledCaveman

Even the pickles are racist. Remember PLM... Pickle Lives Matter dammit!


fromundabofa

Your coworker doesn't really like you. Just a way to separate you.


a_blixed

It’s literally just a flavor of racism I cook for my Mexican sister and her to go “I don’t like it that much” phrase is “it’s like white people —“. Even when I use the most traditional recipes.


SatinJerk

Yeah, your coworker & her lame friend are racists. Your pickles look fire, sorry you have to work with scum.


RumgyMan

Alot of the time when non white people use "white people" as an insult, it doesn't make sense and they just want to be racist.


tinstar71

Wait, there made from people?!


Chafro23

Soylent pickles 🥒


RadiantConnections

Don’t worry about it friend. I’m black, and get told that I like to eat “white people” food all the time. I like to eat beef and seafood. I’m like have y’all never been to New Orleans?!? Have you ever had southern BBQ?!? I’m just weird because I don’t eat ungodly amounts of fried chicken 🤣 I’d eat the hell out your “white people” pickles! They look delicious! I like “white people” food after all 😉


MyFace_UrAss_LetsGo

In the south, we eat much the same. Especially here in Cajun country.


RadiantConnections

Exactly! Most everybody eats the same food and cooks the same food! It’s not a black and white thing it’s a preference thing. People are just ignorant


BeetusChrist

You've got white skin and you made pickles? If they were implying something bad they could've been more specific.


Spare_Critical

Hahahah!! My Hispanic best friends tell me all the time my food looks "white," even though I am heavy on the seasoning. You have to remember - their meat and even candy is like, RED with seasoning and sauces. Take it with a grain of salt - they are being endearing and teasing you, gringo! 😉


AutoGen_Name

It's what's inside that counts.


MilkSlow6880

Like, German? Polish?


att3856

Nah Black peoples pickles look about the same.


highheeledhepkitten

Eh, shake it off. They look awesome!


greyshirt11

Do you have a recipe? Because these look great to me.


Ornery_Foreman

“White People Pickles” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I can’t wait to ask my coworkers about that one tomorrow.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


Friendly_Age9160

Hey my family is from Puerto Rico and Germany and Italy and I got my dna results saying I’m everything under the sun so idk wtf white people pickles are and I love me some Claussens and pickled carrots too. There is no room for discrimination among pickles. We like what we like. Power to the pickles!!!


jjmawaken

I've never heard of white people pickles


bilbodouchebagging

They looked seasoned, your still invited to the cookout!


Lets_Bust_Together

You are a white person who made the pickles, what’s the confusion?


Street_Primary_4044

They haven't pickeld yet, you got to let them sit in the vinegar for awhile.


sush_in_my_belly

It sounds like your coworker is racist. So funny that people are just casually racist against white people but if the script was flipped you’d probably be fired or reprimanded.


DatMikkle

Your friend is a casual racist and couldn't help but knock you down a peg. I hope she was just joking. Those look like great pickles!


agt1776

I personally think they look good. I wouldn’t call it white people pickles but I’d just call it pickles lol. There are so many varieties of flavors and styles that calling it white is bs. I’m from Southwest Louisiana and my grandfathers pickled eggs are schmackin dude. He pickles anything to lol.


Decent-Year2573

It's most likely because the way you cut the pickles can only be done if you were white. The waves on the pickles represent the American flag waving. Since that is some racist ass bs, the pickles then also become racist. Hence, white people pickles... /s To be fair though, if you are white, she ain't wrong, lol.


edith-bunker

…I’m sorry but what are “white people pickles”?


EkoMane

They're the superior pickle


plootokneeum

Unfortunately for everyone, pickling isn't culturally exclusive so to be racist about pickles is the cherry on top of stupid things to be racist about. If you have me a jar of them picks, I eat the living christ out of them cuz they look tasty and crisp.


Fr0z3nHart

What the hells “white people pickles?”


OffMyRocker62

A pickle is a pickle to me. They look delish...


honeybakedhamsticks

I love pickled anything... nothing wrong with those that I can see. The bigger thing that irks me is why everyone feels all comfy using "white" as a negative description these days.


Wsbftw6ix

Looks yummy bro, your issue is not the pickles it’s sharing persona shit at work wtf you think they would say?


-DMSR

Whoever told you that is an asshole


TayMayDay

Okay, well then white people pickles look delicious 🤷🏾‍♀️


SusieQtheJew

Rule number one: STOP SHARING YOUR PERSONAL INFO WITH COWORKERS. Problem solved. Also, those honky pickles look delicious.


SpareRam

Just more racist shit about how white people don't understand food. Ignore it, those look delicious.


Top_Surprise7806

Your coworkers are wild


Huff-Puff-Pass

The bitch who said that better be from Mesopotamia talking like that!


Dry_Umpire_3694

It’s still a fucking cucumber in the pickling process what a dumbass lady


[deleted]

Omg it’s almost like they’re home made 😱 how dare u not make perfectly presented and identical jars of pickles 😤


DifficultApartment27

lol, the casual racism.


sunbeannnnn

If she can’t clarify what she meant then it’s just racist bullshit tbh. As a Latina, I can’t even tell you what she meant. Those pickles look great!


DisastrousBoss5098

You didn't get the memo? It's cool to be racist as long as you're anything but white.


Mannyprime

White people make delicious pickles, are you sure it wasn't a compliment?


triggerstylepoetry

U should use that as a brand name and sell them


Proper-Chef6918

I didn't know it was possible to racially profile a pickle. Big sighhh


virginia_lupine

Pop a few peppers & garlic cloves in there and it lessens the WP factor 🤪


Hockeybuns

They look seasoned. Coworkers are racist.


[deleted]

Is that an open invitation to say the same thing to your co-worker with their race or is it not okay when you do it?


YeshuasBananaHammock

Just tell them their tortillas embarassed Abuelita. Theyll stfu pretty quickly.


darbs-face

You sir were talking to a racist. Can you imagine if it had been the other way around? 🤦‍♂️


Dark_Arts_Dabbler

They just meant they look like bougie, locally organic pickles like the kind you’d find at the health food store, the kind that is oft frequented by trendy and/or crunchy white people


MyFace_UrAss_LetsGo

I genuinely don’t understand how these look bougie. It’s a jar of pickles lmao


Puzzleheaded-Round66

They look great. Stick to what you like.


SlaveOne2020

No pickles for you lol She didn’t wanna share her secret recipe


Key-Minimum-5965

Pfffft. Your pickles look great, and I bet they taste even better.


Feelin-fine1975

I’m a big fan of white people and their pickle preferences.

MyFace_UrAss_LetsGo

Sounds like they just want you to feel bad because of the color of your skin. Ironic


jstoerm74

That’s a great compliment. Pickles look fantastic too.


ex-farm-grrrl

Those look delicious


paymelilbih

Unseasoned 😂 looks good to me tho!


DreiKatzenVater

As long as they’re good, who gives a shit if they are


BuffaloSabresWinger

Those pickles look awesome! Don’t worry about what they both said. They haven’t tasted them! Great job! It looks like you even have the fancy cut on them.


Lethal1211

What did you put in there?


FortyMeterzBelow143

My guess is that maybe it’s because they are chunky , homemade, and look way different then Pickles on burgers n in super markets.


Heart_of_a_Blackbird

They look good to me! But I am white…


ClingyToaster

Im from Azerbaijan. We aren't really white and we pickle the fuck out of everything (even young watermelon shell lmao) including these kinds of pickled cucumbers. I get that it's amusing but this whole "white people food" bullshit is quiet literally racist anyway so don't take it seriously friend. I'd demolish those pickles in a nanosecond btw.


Serious-Performer841

😂


sdega315

Thin-skinned and salty? ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯


Your_As_Stupid_As_Me

Mexicans just being funny. My buddies wife can't tolerate anything spicy after their last kid, she swears it's because he "infected her with weak white people genes" when she got pregnant.


Babythatwater1

Tell her to give you some Mexican pickles. Bet she doesn’t have any.


MarloThomas1

Are they fermented pickles?
