Ok.. it's been mentioned that the glowing pickles tend to stink a bit... Hmmm... wonder if we placed them in jars if that would keep the stench down.... Has anyone tasted a pickle after glowing?.. (apres glow, afterglow?smiley - erm)

a pickle post glow would be very dry and probably taste a bit cooked.

I have heard that you can also cook hotdogs in the way that you make a pickle glow. they wouldn't glow when you cook them since there is no salt but you can still cook them in that fashion so I hear. I have never tried it myself though. I don't like smiley - hotdogsmiley - yuk

on the contrary there is a good deal of salt in hot dogs, and i imagine a surprising array of chemicals which might provide a very interesting subject for an iridiometry study.

I would think that it wouldn't glow, or if it did, very faintly. It's not translucent like a pickle. Now a pickled pearl onion might.

Maybe that jelly that surrounds spam... I wonder if it has enough salt in it.

What other translucent salty foods are there?

The glowing pickle sat
aloft by the sink
a current bestowing 'glowness'
its glowness bestowing light
the pickle sat and glowed
as the smell intensity did rise
the end surely must be
the pickles sad demise

What a life for a pickle
120 volts to make it glow
not eaten in a sandwich
not for that long even to glow

the glowing pickle lament
the sadness of light so brief
onlookers sadness expounded
reflecting their glowing pickle grief

a glowing pickle
seems a good deal less smelly
than the golden arches

Electrolysed pickles pong
And green glowing gherkins seem wrong
The hint of was strong
Alas gone for a thong
