I'm not saying it's not more rewarding, better quality, etc.
But it's not easier than just buying a damn jar of pickles when you're at the store.
I make them and buy them, I garden my own cucumbers specifically to make them. I've made quick ones, slow ones, garlic ones, spicy ones...it's not hard...
...but I'm not going to pretend it's faster or easier than buying a jar from the fucking supermarket.
