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.

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!
