THE ARTISANAL PICKLE JAR LID IS A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY

I have lived in this valley long enough to remember when a pickle was simply a cucumber that had spent some quality time in a brine bath. It was a humble, sour endeavor. You opened the jar, you ate the pickle, and you moved on with your life. You did not require a degree in mechanical engineering or a wrist brace to access the contents.

Lately, however, I have noticed a shift at the local markets that I believe warrants a formal inquiry from the city commission, or perhaps the National Guard. The new breed of “Small-Batch, Wild-Fermented, Locally-Foraged” pickles has arrived. They sit on the shelves looking very sophisticated in their square glass containers. They promise a crispness that can only be achieved by someone who plays cello to their vegetables.
