Have you ever seen a group of old European men “hanging out” in the gym locker room? That’s why.
100% hilarious and 0% appropriate.
Pickle chips are a thing though. https://www.buypicklechips.com/
I dried out a cucumber over time like a gourd, and at the end it was basically a loofah, super light and airy.
Maybe because they’re mostly water?

get a dehydrator & experiment, OP
I just realized I have one. Never used it tho, came as a bonus with another thing I bought.
I think I will try that, sounds fun.
Please report back OP
Because cucumbers (my spelling is horryble)
Are like 90 something % water, drying it would be very badIt seems to be something others have tried, and at least one company is selling them. I bet they would be pretty good if you like pickles.
Seems like it would work particularly well with a sweet pickle, concentrating the vinegar and salt flavors is going to make them really strong, sweetness would help balance it out a bit.
I’d even consider making a custom batch with a lighter seasoning (like summer style fridge cucumbers), so it’s more like cucumber chips with vinegar and salt.

my guess is that drying something, much like pickling something, is used as a method of preserving the given food. as a pickle is already preserved, you wouldn’t need to dehydrate it.
So are dried pickles the ultimate preserved food? There until the end of time?
I kinda want a dried pickle now wtf?
some one did it https://rockinwhomestead.com/dehydrated-pickles/
I imagine it isnt popular because it is overpowering.
That means it is entirely possible that you could munch on 20 to 40 of these ships in one sitting if you are not paying attention, and consume the equivalent of two to four fresh pickles.
Would you really eat that many fresh pickles in one sitting?
I think freeze dried would be okay… like, crunchy? I’d put that on a baked potato. Just plain dehydrated might be chewy and not that great.
I think we should start with why are pickles a thing. I mean come on.
I gotta preserve my cucumbers somehow!
Yknow it’s weird. I love other pickled things. Hell, pickled onions are my favorite form of onions, and I love onion in general. But pickles? Disgusting. Can’t stand them. The absolute worst.
I recently found pickled radishes at a farmer’s market. So good!
what about sweet pickles?
