Obsessed! Me and my pickles. (rare photo of me on steemit)

in #food7 years ago

This is my not how to series on pickles which you cannot find in Argentina.

Not the garlic dills anyway. So I did my yearly pickle jar this afternoon and snapped a rare photo of myself with the gallon in hand. I could not find cucumbers less than baseball-bat-size, but I made them anyway.

If you ask for "pickles" here in Buenos Aires, you will get an assortment of vegetables that have been soaked in white (rubbing) alcohol vinegar.

pickles

To get the green things that used to be cucumbers, you need to ask for pepinos which are equally shocking when you taste the alcohol vinegar - eye popping.

When in a bind, I buy these ---->
which say 'agridulce' or sour-sweet - then I convert them to garlic-dill pickles by changing out the pickle juice several times. (my own recipe)

I bought these several months ago so they were only $80.00. Adding inflation over the last eight weeks, these are $135.00 now.

If I were to calculate this little jar of pickles in Steem, it would always be about 1.25 Steem because inflation does not impact third world dwellers who earn, hold or trade any type of crypto-currency.

I do recommend putting some crypto into cash for use when bitcoin decides to lose, say 68%, of it's value for a few months.

My voting power has been super low for almost a week so please be patient for comment votes.

I had asked to have a recent post on how to survive low numbers in the beginning translated into Spanish to help on board Venezuelans. Then I recruited Indonesian translations so that the #aceh tag would receive some promotion. I have been upvoting both comments and worthy posts for both of these languages all week. Almost done.

To help, see the English - Spanish or Indonesian post and upvote new members.

These people need a bit of encouragement as do the people in Venezuela where living conditions have deteriorated to savage - all due to chunks of paper losing all its value. Bitcoin was the only spendable currency and fees have been outrageous. Steemit groups starting now...

Steem to the unbanked.

And Pickles to the Un-pickled!

Steemcleaners here.

Did you agree to have your post copied and pasted by that user?

https://steemit.com/tips/@binjeeclick/selamatkan-g0-00usd-seiring-berkembangnya-anda-di-steemit

Yes. I authorized him to translate it for me and keep all proceeds from the post. As stated on the original post - My upvotes on comments throughout his post are proof as well.

I negotiated translations from @neri0x, @binjeeclick, and @riostarr

to encourage communities to use their own language and build their own tags out #Venezuela #aceh (and others in progress.)

Thank you for your diligence.

Thanks you brother for made it clear.. :)

@sponge bob people like you who are in need of my brother's little fish and you choose the right people for it

phewww, good thing you informed them wow.

Hahahah "alcohol vinegar - eye popping". I have tasted them, they are hardcore man hahaha.

Tulong vote balek @sponge-bob

wow that inflation rate is as eye watering as the alcohol vinegar

Hello! Yes it is. When I arrived here - a smoker (cough cough), cigarettes cost $0.45 (in US dollars) and I had been paying $6.25 in the States. Well, I quit smoking about 5 years ago and they were $11.00 in local pesos. They now cost about $60 pesos per pack according to my son. His mother still smokes.

Glad you managed to give up then!. I gave up 3 years ago, but I am still addicted to nicotine (I vape).

fantástico, se ven muy bien debe estar deliciosos, que los disfrutes

Son similares a los que lleva el Big Mac pero los mios quedan crocante y frecos.

it seems like a very good pickle, I never think of a man who made it because women are usually more patient when making food.. :)

Yeahh I'm agree with U. Usually women better than us to made some food, however how if we wish something but we didnt got a women to make it.. Hahahah.. Just kidding bro.

incredible for your friends, hopefully more creative triumphant 👍👍

I'm so glad you used the #aceh tag, indirectly promoting Aceh in the eyes of the world. I am native Acehnese, I hope you have a good day and wish you success always @sponge-bob

You will all have success when your culture uses poetry, articles, and experiences that are shared in your language. Google translator only works for simple sentences.

I have supported the #kr and #cn tags in their languages so Steemit will truly be global. Maybe we can wipe out fakebook if they don't kill the site first.

True as you say, Google Translator only translate sentences in general but not in the local language.

I hope you not only #kr, #cn, #indonesia or #aceh but other tags should also evolve. I hope so, because in steemit a fun place to share.

Get those pickles! We'll ship you some on the next boat out. :)

I pic my own pickles, corn my own corned beef, chill my own chili beans, pep my own ronni ...

So much I miss from the good ol' ussa.

I think the intonation with which I read your comment made me think of this song. I don't know how I know of it. :)

Well obsessed or not they do add up flavor to any food ,they are as well on top of my list ,when I get any I do not let the chance pass by .

I am very inspired with you and I will try to follow in your footsteps, gradually, (upvote says something) hehehe

well i think it awesome ...

#aceh can certainly imitate #kr and #cn who already have whales..

Look like very delicious i think its very tasty pickles thanks for share @sponge-bob

wow incredible rare and very unique photo @sponge-bob

Get these,,, I hope its healthy and full with vitamines keep sharing
God bless you

Amazing photography. I like this pickles . I appreciate your work. Best of luck for future.

They look very good and they are also nutritious.

If you have ever eaten Claussen Pickles, these are the same - I even keep them in the refrigerator from day one.

Postingan yang sangat menarik dalam dunia steemit.

nice post I like

Your content is very effective and the way you applied your mind in transformation of that pickle by introducing your own recipe is prodigious.

How you changed your pickle into garlic-dill?

Saya biasanya hanya pernah mencicipi acar bawang merah, dan saya penasaran bagaimana rasa acar mentimun mu @sponge-bob

You make a very good comparison, from the pickled cucumber to the pickle steem. At a glance it looks light but what you describe next is a very clear step. Your discussion adds my imagination to writing in steemit.
For a new steemian like me, the experience of others is very useful for me to make referrals.
Thanks @ sponge-bob
