Poster's comments:

            1) Most Americans like vinegar based pickling.

            2) I like brine based pickling.

            3) We can pickle about anything. The idea is to kill the germs on and maybe in the food, and then use the usual eyeball and smell test when the shelf life approaches.

            4) None of this is rocket science.

            5) I have not pickled any meat, only vegetables.
