If you test positive in the first 3 days of having symptoms, you can get a Rx for Paxlovid which will shorten the duration and severity of symptoms, and help you avoid long covid or complications.

IMO The sarcasm is pretty thick in OP’s comment. At least, as an American, I’m picking up on a whole lot of mockery of the red tape that goes along with this “benefit” if you are lucky enough to work somewhere that even offers it in the first place.

It is exactly that.

Oh, we have all those other pickled things too. Except the cockles, never heard of pickled cockles here. I love some pickled green beans, okra, dill pickles, and/or queen olives as Bloody Mary garnishes. We have cornichons too! I eat them on charcuterie plates. But the Branston pickle is a completely alien condiment here. Piccalilli sounds close to what we’d call chow-chow in the South.

I actually thought it was marmite or vegemite at first, but I’ve never heard of either of those being called “pickle” so I figured it must be a different thing entirely.

That’s interesting! I love learning about new foods in other cultures. I’ll have to keep an eye out to try this somehwere.

Aha! I appreciate the explanation! I’ve never heard of such a thing and in the US our pickles are green. Brown pickles would be something well past the point of being safe to eat over here :)

Why is it brown? What is wrong with your pickles?
