Fermenting Ogórki?

Hi,
I have a jar of "pickled gerkhins" from tesco. Very nice.

But, today, when I removed the lid, there was a hiss like a bottle of coke. And then the fun started! The contents or the jar were bubbling! Like a hyperactive fizzy drink. The bubbles from the jar were a fair ole size too. Putting the lid back on results in a constant fssssss from ths lid.

I decided that maybe eating these and then driving was not a great idea! Are they fermenting?

Has anybody seen this before? Anybody want to get drunk on gerkhins?

I've experienced this before too and I think the same as you, they were fermenting.

Drunk on gherkins, no thanks. I'll stick with conventional options.

heheehe, i dont think so

so, do I eat these or not? :)

Yes
And
No.

They are fermented, they will not get you drunk.

Eat them, they are vacumed sealed hence the fizz but I do not know why they fizz but they do.

They might be very soar, so I recommend having them with cheese and bread, if you do not like very soar things.

thanks for that! :)
It was a littel strange hearing the hiss from the lid when I closed the jar. I'll give them a try tonight.

So, i have an update... .these orgorki had rotted inside, they were hollow so I didn't risk eating them.

My girl says 'keep your fingers out', seems that is the cause of this problem!
