Reply to comment by Caucasiafro in ELI5 Why are pickles not just called pickled cucumbers? by Shabless
Uk here, they are called gherkins and we have, in the grocery shop; pickled cabbage, onion, beetroot (I think Americans call them beats) in glass jars. I can’t remember seeing gherkins or pickled egg in the shops but they are a common thing to exist, gherkins are common on burgers and pickled egg are often sold at fish and chip shops.

You have a typo. We call them beets—"ee" instead of "ea". But you are correct.
