BASIC FOOD OF SAILORS

Pickles have been made all over the world by different methods and in different varieties for centuries. But Asia is their acknowledged point of origin insofar as the world's homeland of rich food sources stretches from Asia to the Mediterranean, as evidenced by the fact that the world's first civilizations developed in these regions.
As the most commonly pickled vegetable in the world today, the cucumber is of Indian origin. Brought first to Mesopotamia, it spread in time to all parts of the world. The basic source of nutrition of the early seafaring explorers, too, was pickles, which were kept in barrels in the holds of their ships. Pickles have left deep marks on different periods of world history. Caesar and Napoleon, for example, both believed that pickles had an invigorating effect on the morale of their troops. Once highly valued by prominent western military commanders, this mystical foodstuff has a much more limited use today on western tables. In Turkey on the other hand pickled foods still preserve their importance.
