The pickles known as salt-stock are best described as

  • A.Cucumbers dried in the sun and then stored in sacks
  • B.Cucumbers cooked in syrup and sealed into glass jars
  • C.Fermented cucumbers held in strong brine until required
  • D.Fresh cucumbers packed straight into spiced vinegar

Answer: C

Correct answer: Fermented cucumbers held in strong brine until required

Salt-stock is an intermediate rather than a product: cucumbers are fermented and then held in brine strong enough to prevent any further microbial activity, so they can be stored for a year or more and finished as demand requires. That is what allows a seasonal crop to supply a year-round market.
