These are really good. I'm not familiar with traditional British pub pickled onions because I haven't visited the UK, but I like pickled veggies in general, and these are good.I would wholeheartedly recommend these, except for one detail: they're ridiculously expensive for the amount you get.The "medium heat" on the label is a little bit of a misnomer, in my opinion. I'm an absolute wimp when it comes to heat, and I found these mild. Tangy, yes, but not medium heat.I've chopped them finely and added them to pre-made raspberry vinaigrette that I found too sweet, and it absolutely improved the dressing.They're really good sliced thinly over salad, too.And of course they are wonderful by themselves.Also, the transaction was absolutely straightforward and painless, and the vendor did a truly fantastic job of padding them to protect them in transit.If you don't have the option of making your own, these are a tasty, easy fix for your pickled onion snack cravings.
