Parsley? Oh, I am getting my computers back now. |

Parsley? Glad you are back online, Ian. Not Parsley. Parsley may be used to prepare the items this container stores, but the container is not designed to store parsley or other dry herbs. Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired |

Is the item generally refrigerated? If it also comes in commercial packages, do said packages say "refrigerate after opening"? I thought so, but I wanted to find a new thing to post before making my official guess: olives. (Now watch karma kick me in the butt for arrogance.)

Is the item generally refrigerated? If it also comes in commercial packages, do said packages say "refrigerate after opening"? And this time you are correct. I don't have a picture of it in use, but this goofy container is used for storing small pickles. There is a reservoir below the main chamber for the juice, so the pickles don't get too soggy.

On the other sides of the ponds from America we usually call them Gherkins, which I had a feeling it was. That would have been an acceptable answer. Some American brands include the word "gherkin" on the label. On a totally different note, the surgeon who cleaned up my Mother's ruptured appendix was named Phyliss Gherkin (MD, Ph.D. F.A.C.S.).

Ah hah. Thanks for the win. I've been out of the house all day and still am, but I'm prepared. The new item will be up shortly. David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

Well, this is not nearly as shortly as I intended, but at least I didn't go to sleep first. So, what is this? There are hints available, but let's start with the minimum. I'll just say it's not anything I would ever waste my money on. David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

Ah, nuts, it's a rerun. I really thought I'd found a good one here. Okay, I'll find something else. David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

Now that I've given it away (and a bunch of others I could have used, too) what did you think it was? David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

Okay, take 2. Very simple: what is it? David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |
