Pickles were cucumbers that were generally stored in a jar filled with vinegar or brine. The condiment known as relish was made from pickles.

Jett Reno once used the example of "want(ing) their sandwiches cut diagonally with exactly two pickles on the side" as a personal quirk that two copies of an individual might share, yet still not be the same person you remember. (DIS: "Coming Home")

The term "pickle" could also metaphorically refer to a sticky problem.

The counselor of the USS Cerritos, Doctor Migleemo, was infamous for using such food metaphors. On one occasion, when Captain Carol Freeman was trying to get information about her daughter Beckett Mariner, he told her "Captain, you know I can't share what your crew tells me. That would be a real ethical pickle." (LD: "Crisis Point")

A deleted scene from SNW: "Charades" had Human Spock trying chewing gum, speculating on whether to combine it with nuts or a pickle. [1]
