They are addictive.

Last years pickled onion.

I am on them already this morning. Woke up thinking about them.

Slippery slope I think!

Well I hope you have a large stock of them put by then Sharron or you will be getting the shakes from going cold turkey. :-D :-D :-D

They should have a warning on the jar.

Think it must be a sign of getting better, over the loss of plot, both my marmalade and pickled onions have been particularly good.

There is very little chilli in them. I always take most of the chillis out of the pickling spice because I don't like them at all.

There is a little sugar in the vinegar which I think makes a great deal of difference.

This batch have not even come up to say hello later.

I'm not addicted to them Sharron, but I do like them. Like the little ones more than the big ones, tastier. Once I used to drink the vinegar out the jar.

Remember Nellie Pledges perfect pickles ?

You can't beat a good sweet pickled onion for sure.

I think that scene about putting about that I'm barmy was in Jimmy James's act,Eli Wood was his sidekick and Roy Castle was the other one.

Nearest and Dearest had Walter and Hilda Baker would enquire as to whether he had been.
