Alton Brown's pickles show
 

All in all pretty good shows tonight. That sweet pear pickle looked real
good. However, as I have learned here and there, the simple addition of
garlic does not make cucumber pickles "kosher." Kosher-style perhaps, but I
think Brian and others would agree, n'est pas?
Edrena, politically correct from time to time.

Yup. "Kosher" has a specific meaning and intention. Nothing wrong with
non-certified kosher-style, though. Although in general, kosher-style
refers to delis and such that not only serve meat dishes and dairy
dishes together, but have patently "trayf" items as Reuben Sandwiches,
which mix meat and dairy in the same dish. That's the short version :)

Anyway, to me "kosher" pickles are those that are fermented in a salt
brine, not in vinegar.

I think it's more "semantically correct" than politically.

:But, but, that's my favorite one! Good thing I'm a mongrel 'merikan.

On my mailing list, they've decided that it's better to have real cheese
and soy "meat" than the real meat and fake cheese. (sort of ontopic,
since cheese is a preservation techinque).
