Yeah I knew about the pickled eggs. They were in the other 5 gallon jar next to the pickled pigs feet on the counter at the convenience store. Never heard of the shrimp one though. Yuck to all!

As do capers.
Pickled eggs are delicious and quite a tradition in the UK. They are sold in fish and chip shops. I aldo make my own pickled quail's eggs with Indian spices.

My grandmother, uncles, aunts, all loved them. I can't say because I never tried one. I couldn't get over the sight of people sticking their hands in the jars to get them out.
Pickled eggs are very big here, though the big jars of pigs’ feet have been replaced by sausages for the most part.
Pickled eggs are on most buffets, show up at cookouts and picnics, and Amish stores, both in beet juice and mustard form. I like them all, but the mustard eggs are particularly good.

Southern pickled eggs in the area where I lived in came in huge Mason jars and were fuschia colored. I couldn't get over putting something that color, though it was pretty, in my mouth, besides the fact they were kept on the counter in stores. Never saw anybody just stick their hand in the jar, but nobody in my extended family ate them at home.

Well I remember when I was a kid that they had these long metal spoons but the eggs would sometimes roll off and people would stick their other hand in the jar to grab it as it was falling. They weren't actually picking the eggs out with their hands, but the hand was in the jar with their wrist/hand (or end of their sleeve) brushing against the rim, and even as a kid I knew something was wrong about that.
Edit: ours were fuchsia, too.

Very happy it’s been broadened to include all pickles because the options are now endless! I’ll get to drool over a lot more entries!
I love pickles, the way they cut through other ingredients without dominating is sublime.
Morrisons (not who you immediately think of for pickle) do a balsamic caramelised onion chutney that makes a gravy taste amazing. It can rescue even the most lack lustre meat juices.
Or Silvana Franco does a steak and onion pie which is essentially a jar of silver skin pickled onion and a whole bottle of red wine, oof that’s a punchy pie!
Just had kühne honeyed gherkins mixed into mayo, ketchup and mustard (kind of all the burger accompaniments mixed into one) to go with the wings and the gherkins made it absolutely delicious.
Can’t wait!
