    If it’s a German dish, perhaps try to source gherkins made in Germany or Poland. They’re quite different to other counterparts. Oh and don’t fall for the ‘Polish style’ or ‘German style’ ones made in India or Turkey. They’re good. Just not as good as the original versions.

      I just checked the jar and i did fall for the imposters God damn it. Deceiving fuckers. I have noted this and will strive for more excellence in the future.

            Those dastardly scoundrels!!!

            I’ve fallen for this exact thing before. A polish friend of mine said that’s actually not grammatically correct for some reason. I’ll find out what to look for (apart from the country of origin)

              Thanks. I know we’ve had polish ones before because the man always checks the jar before purchase. I on the other hand just grabbed what I was looking for.

                My friend replied.

                Look for ‘Polskie’ instead of ‘Polski’

                Something to do with gendered and plural suffixes.
