Where do pickles come from?!


Question:

Where do pickles come from?

I know that they're cucumbers, i mean who first made them?


Answers:

I don't know if you could ever figure out who first made pickles, much less who actually started the process known as pickling. I would bet it is at least 300 hundred years old. Ben Franklin made mention of them so that's over 200 hundred years. This may go back as far as wine making itself, since vinegar ( used in pickling) is nothing more than wine that "went south".
