    some people take their canning process to the extremes.

    as an aside, I’ve never seen a canned pickle product. I guess they stopped at chicken.

      What? Lots and lots of pickles are canned (all the ones at the store, except for some of the refrigerated ones). They just do it in glass jars instead of metal.


      Edit: I don’t know why I’m being downvoted for stating a fact. Shelf-stable pickles (that aren’t lacto-fermented) like this…

      …are, in fact, considered “canned.” If you don’t believe me, call up Vlasic yourself and ask them if “canning” accurately describes their manufacturing process. The number is right there on the jar in the picture: 1-800-421-3265.


      Edit 2: Just to be even more clear, pickles like this:

      Are not canned. The difference isn’t the container (which has exactly the same kind of “lug” or “twist-off” lid as the Vlasic jar), but the fact that this one isn’t pasteurized and has a warning label telling you to keep it refrigerated.

            You’re welcome. I knew somebody here would appreciate this.

              It appears Uranus also makes a fine dip.

                  It’s pretty good, if you’re willing to travel to Missouri

                    Yeah, I found out about this a couple of months ago when I saw a picture of those pickles posted on Facebook.

                    Kinda gotta admire the dedication to the joke it requires to build an entire business around Uranus puns.

        He’s obviously talking about metal cans instead of glass jars, not the manufacturing process called canning.

        When something is put into a can, it’s considered canned.

        When something is put into a jar, it’s considered jarred.

          Nope. When something is heat-sterilized and preserved in a sealed container via water bath or pressure, it’s considered “canned” regardless of what type of container it is. That’s why things like this…

          …are called “canning jars” and not just “jars,” and why using them to preserve food is, in fact, called “canning.”

            Mayhaps in english. Maybe he is not form an english speaking country. I myself am not and canning here is exclusively for metal cans and jarring has a separate word.

              I find it jarring to hear canning in glass containers called jarring.

              now that you say it, when I think of the word jarring I think of it as an adjective like surprising, shocking.

          I guess the dictionary nazis on this site need joke comments to be flagged with a trigger warning.

      psst

      Can we “as an aside” ourselves now?

      I feel like a Pokémon evolved. I’ve wanted to do that.
