So, does Branston pickle count?
It's the only pickled food I regularly eat.

Oh! What about drinking tea?
Aren't tea leaves sort of fermented

Dunno, what is a Branston pickle?
Sliced hherkin pickles on a Big Mac ??
Sliced basic dill pickles here in Canada/USA.. what a strange concept - slices of tiny little almost sweet tasting gherkin pickles on a Big Mac.. ?? Either the recipe is different where you live or you’re mistaken.. or there’s more than one kind of gherkin pickle??? Regardless, I don’t think any of those types of white vinegar pickles have any probiotics in them afaik.And no, tea leaves are not fermented.. are you thinking of dehydrated?
Fermented tea = kombucha, And it’s the added sugar that’s fermented by a scoby to produce probiotics, not the tea itself.Branston Pickle is a British relish, similar to chutney, it is a thick,brown sauce with little cubed veg, sweet and sour. I love it but can't find it where I am situated in the world.
Aaah.
Where I live, we are blessed to have people from all corners of the earth - and their foods; restaurants, and speciality grocery shops of damned near every culture - including a couple of specialty British grocery/candy stores. I bet if I looked I could find it here.
Also, I bet if you looked on the internet you could find a jar and have it delivered. Sure, probably a bit pricey - but so what? How much could it possibly cost to have a jar of your favourite relish? I bet max $20 including shipping. I’d never pay that for relish in a store, but I most certainly would pay it once every year or two as a treat if I really wanted it.

Don't you know the 'cornichons', goldfish?
I do recall seeing/hearing the word before, but no, I guess not.
“A.: Cornichons are dilled gherkins, not sweet gherkins. If a recipe calls for cornichons, it is referring to the dilled variety of gherkins. If a recipe calls for cornichons and you don't have any, substitute small slivers of dill pickles. Remember, all cornichons are gherkins, not all gherkins are cornichons.Aug 13, 2013”
