Obsessed! Me and my pickles. (rare photo of me on steemit)

in #food7 years ago

This is my not how to series on pickles which you cannot find in Argentina.

Not the garlic dills anyway. So I did my yearly pickle jar this afternoon and snapped a rare photo of myself with the gallon in hand. I could not find cucumbers less than baseball-bat-size, but I made them anyway.

If you ask for "pickles" here in Buenos Aires, you will get an assortment of vegetables that have been soaked in white (rubbing) alcohol vinegar.

pickles

To get the green things that used to be cucumbers, you need to ask for pepinos which are equally shocking when you taste the alcohol vinegar - eye popping.

When in a bind, I buy these ---->
which say 'agridulce' or sour-sweet - then I convert them to garlic-dill pickles by changing out the pickle juice several times. (my own recipe)

I bought these several months ago so they were only $80.00. Adding inflation over the last eight weeks, these are $135.00 now.

If I were to calculate this little jar of pickles in Steem, it would always be about 1.25 Steem because inflation does not impact third world dwellers who earn, hold or trade any type of crypto-currency.

I do recommend putting some crypto into cash for use when bitcoin decides to lose, say 68%, of it's value for a few months.

My voting power has been super low for almost a week so please be patient for comment votes.

I had asked to have a recent post on how to survive low numbers in the beginning translated into Spanish to help on board Venezuelans. Then I recruited Indonesian translations so that the #aceh tag would receive some promotion. I have been upvoting both comments and worthy posts for both of these languages all week. Almost done.

These people need a bit of encouragement as do the people in Venezuela where living conditions have deteriorated to savage - all due to chunks of paper losing all its value. Bitcoin was the only spendable currency and fees have been outrageous. Steemit groups starting now...

Steem to the unbanked.

And Pickles to the Un-pickled!

Yes. I authorized him to translate it for me and keep all proceeds from the post. As stated on the original post - My upvotes on comments throughout his post are proof as well.

I negotiated translations from @neri0x, @binjeeclick, and @riostarr

to encourage communities to use their own language and build their own tags out #Venezuela #aceh (and others in progress.)
