I love me a good pickle of any kind, I just happened to be snacking on those today when I made that thread.

I chop them for tuna salad. That's about it.

The only pickle I wouldn't eat is a deep fried one.

Here's something to try if you have a Kohlrabi just lying around.

In a saucepan, bring:

1/2 cup red whine vinegar
1/4 cup agua
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt

...to a boil. Chop up the Kohlrabi into thin slices (approx 1-2 inches x 1/4 inch x 1/8 inch) and pour the boiled liquid over it. Let sit at least 15 minutes...better if sat overnight.

DELICIOUS!
