For sure. But why are people eating so much more than they used to? I haven't watched this video, but it does make sense that could be linked to gut health.

Reply to comment by Caucasiafro in ELI5 Why are pickles not just called pickled cucumbers? by Shabless
I live in the US.
I never would have thought of herring. I eat pickled okra regularly because I grew up eating them and they're fantastic, but it's not popular where I live now.
Everyone eats pickled banana peppers and pickled jalapeños, so they're the real #2/3 after cucumbers, but for some reason we don't acknowledge them as pickled. That's just the standard way of having them here. If a restaurant actually has fresh jalapeños the menu will say "fresh jalapeños." After those I'd say maybe pickled eggs, but that's just from TV shows like The Simpsons and Cheers; I'm not sure I've ever eaten one.
