Embarrassed to say that I've reached 51 years of age, without knowing how to deal with, what is I'm sure a thoughtful gift that's taken some effort to produce.
Do I eat it as part of a ploughman's type lunch? A crunchy edition to doorstep cheese or ham sandwiches? Are there cooking recipes that use this as an ingredient? Help me out here please, I'm a bit flummoxed and my initial thoughts of bunging it on the back of a cupboard for a decade seems ungrateful and wasteful.
Red Leicester cheese and gherkin sandwiches. Chef's kiss!
Slice of saucisson, slice of cheese, pickle. Wash down with sip of port.
Repeat.
Or
Home made burgers, chilli sauce, cheese, pickles. Beer
Give it to someone who likes pickles. No point eating something you don't like just out of politeness.

Damn I wish i'd read that before eating sheep's testicles.
Also, as someone who hates pickles (due to my grandmother), do pickle lovers distinguish between different types of pickles? To me they all taste the same, but, when you think about it, it's normal to like some vegetables more than others so do pickle lovers have some pickles they like and some they don't like or do they all just tasted the same?
I think it's all in the texture. Although I suspect pickled grandmother does taste a bit odd; fingers might be a bit like gherkins but with extra bite.
Offer them up to the next season of Alien: Earth to help move the plot along?
Dice some up and stick it in a curry /chilli con carne /any sauce you're cooking really
That's how I worked my way through a jar of gherkins anyway lol
Jar to mouth whilst standing vacantly in the kitchen works for me.

I don't know that I don't like them, I've never tried this form of pickles. Onions, yes, but these don't feel like they have the same application.
Burgers is a good idea.
I'd use them to make piccalilli, much nicer than most shop-bought varieties.
Anything betwixt bread will work. On the side lime a ploughmans for sure.
You can add them the as an ingredients if you want but they will lose they will disappear and kond of... Whats the point.
The dog always demands a pickle if i open the jar.
They are just about the easiest thing to make, worth having a go, you get to go to town with flavours that way. Sarsons website is full of recipes. Pickled courgette lightly curried were epic on eggs for breakfast.
In a toasted cheese sandwich would be my plan.
Since we got an air fryer my toastie game has gone up a notch. We've always looked forward to evenings when we've got home after a substantial lunch and didn't want a big meal. White bread with butter, cheddar cheese, slice of onion, a bit of red pepper/pimento from a jar and some pickled vegetable (usually gherkin). Make into a sandwich and air fry till brown and leaking.
Served with crisps, Daddies brown sauce and red wine and best eaten in front of the telly.
yer any sarnie...im not against topping mash potato with some pickled vegetable...
its all great stuff, full of useful bacteria....
Definitely try them though. They might be terrible but I've also been given some fantastic home made pickles. That selection looks a bit weird as texture is important but it's always worth a shot and just bin them if they are terrible as they can sometimes be

If that's not a big meal, I shudder to think of the feast you ate at lunch time! Liking the recipe though, toasties is not something I think to make in our air fryer very often.

Pickled? you sure about that and don't mean fermented, like kimchi?
good point, fermented definitely does, pickled now i'm not so sure
Mmm love a pickled veg, add em to sarnies/burger, an extra flavour alongside salad or eat on their own as a snack. If you not experimented with pickles before, then kimchi would be an experience. Found I like this kinda stuff more and more as I get older.
It was (may still be) a "thing" in Germany to have a small side dish of something pickled alongside a main course. At my Oma's it would usually be thinly sliced pickled cucumber or pickled green beans. From the garden of course. Yummy.

I'm pretty sure that there's Cucumber in that mix, as well as what looks like Courgette.

A cheese toastie, pickled onion and some crisps is a big meal in your world? What do you have for lunch, a single dry Ryvita?
😀
Push them through the letter box whilst shouting the aliens are coming
Kimchi honks disgusting🤢
Can one provide a list of vegetables in the jar please?
Carrot slices at bottom, but is that a lengthways slice of carrot or swear potato?
What is the pinkish thing?

tbh it's not something I even realised you can make in an air fryer... How do you stop it from all falling apart?

If I remember later, I'll try and work out what it all is.

You basically just give it all a firm Squash together. I didn't use the grid thing, just put them straight in the bottom of the pan. Bit of spillage, but mainly OK once the cheese is melted a bit.
Pie, peas and gravy, pickles on top.
Next.
I would be concerned that the vinegar would prevent the vegetables from composting.
