Isn't Umeboshi what the girls on America's Next Top Model had to eat, and they all thought it was gross? People can be such babies about trying new things! I had been wondering exactly what they were eating ever since I saw that episode. I bet pickled plums are yummy! I'm Lebanese and we eat pickled beets, and they are so yummy.
As far as regular pickles go (pickled cucumbers), I'd say treat them like any other IF veggie. I personally went to the ER after deciding that I could eat an entire cucumber. But, I keep a jar of sliced kosher dills in the fridge, and I eat a couple after a good SF base whenever I want.
