Why is it brown? What is wrong with your pickles?

I was wondering the same and got curious enough for a quick search. Saw someone recommending Branston Pickle and it looks similar

Branston Pickle is made from a variety of diced vegetables, including swede, carrots, onions and cauliflower pickled in a sauce made from vinegar, tomato, apple and spices.[9] While not a chutney, Branston Pickle is sweet and spicy with a "chutney-like" consistency, containing chunks of vegetables in a thick brown sticky sauce.[9]

Yes. Branston pickle. Not gherkins.

"Gherkin" is a fun word. The Finnish word for cucumber is "kurkku". Sounds more like "gherking" than cucumber.

I imagine the Finnish transliteration of "gherkin" would be "kurkku", is my point.
