mhmm and i understand you dont speak it well - but in english the word pickles generally refers to pickled cucumbers, and other pickled products are usually referred to as pickled [x] such as pickled carrots or pickled eggs

my comment is referring to the fact that those cultivars appear fundamentally different to a person like you - but part of the difference is that they were picked earlier on in their life cycle

a person who used your logic on popcorn - portabello mushrooms - pickled cucumbers - and bean sprouts - could be wrong on all counts except for the popcorn which is a distinct cultivar

but all the other ones are the same cultivars just picked at a different stage in their life cycle

Again strawmanning.

I never said it did.

>You know, rebutting the original point being made, instead of the one you switched to after realising the mistake but not admitting it

I have checked back through the thread and noone made that claim.

Only in the US. Travel to literally any other country in the world that has a history of pickling and they'll look at you like you're daft if you assert they're just cucumbers. I literally have a jar of "picles" in my fridge that is mostly cauliflower with some carrots thrown in.

While that was practiced regularly in the past, the double barrel cannon was supposed to make it so the two balls were stretched out and the chain could cut down advancing soldiers. Stuffing both balls down one barrel causes the shot to spin around wildly and it loses some accuracy.

yeah and button mushrooms arent portabello mushrooms either - but theyre the same species

but if you go to any supermarket in north america and find a jar marked 'pickles' it will probably contain cucumbers in brine
