Talk:Pickled walnuts

Request for photo fulfilled

I have inserted the photo of un-jared pickled walnuts in response to a request I found somewhere. Unfortunately I can't remember where. If you posted that request, please mark it as done, or else please point me to it so I can. Cheers. LittlePete 18:32, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Possible long term, subtle vandalism by 212.183.134.66

I just reverted (or actually, carefully picked out) all edits by 212.183.134.66, made in June 2008. This user has been repeatedly banned for vandalism, including several vandalistic attacks around the time these edits were made. Hence, any edits by that user should be considered highly suspect. These edits drew on and exaggerated an earlier, one-line claim which is easily proven to be impossible. They also claimed that pickled walnuts are of two types, vinegar pickled and sweet. Now, I know very little about pickled walnuts, but in a few seconds of Googling I was able to discover that both sweeteners and vinegar are ingredients of practically all walnut pickling recipes.

Most of the vandalism conducted through this IP was very crude stuff, such as claiming that a certain footballer scored 148 goals in one season. Not at all the subtle vandalism, if that is what it is, represented by these edits. However, in view of several of the claims blatantly contradicting other sources, and the suspicious nature of the IP, it seems safest to remove all this un-sourced material unless and until it can be verified. It may be that some or all of these edits contained accurate information, if so, please provide a cite and replace them. -- 202.63.39.58 (talk) 11:32, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Best time to pick them

The current version says

Most recipes say that late June is about the best time to pick them.

Surely this depends on the climate, which differs between walnut-growing areas. Perhaps the text should be ...the best time to pick them in southern England. Verbcatcher (talk) 12:46, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

Unique English delicacy?

Walnut preserves are popular e.g. in Caucasus, where they are considered a kind of murabba, a whole fruit preserve. Here are some examples:

• Kaklis muraba - pickled walnuts, a traditional Georgian recipe.
• In Azerbaijan it is called qoz mürəbbəsi. Here is a google image search for it.
• In Armenia, this is known as ynkuyzi muraba. Here is also a google image search.

I think these varieties are usually sweet. Should this be integrated into the article? --Off-shell (talk) 21:36, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
