Various types of pickles are in fact "famous":
- Mango pickle (not my favourite Indian pickle; right now that would be garlic pickle and my standby is lime pickle)
- New York deli half-sour pickled cucumbers (not a vinegar pickle, but a fermented pickle).
- Umeboshi (salt-pickled Japanese plums)
- Kimchi (Korean fermented cabbage and vegetables)
- Kapusta / Sauerkraut (Ukrainian and German fermented/pickled cabbage, respectively)
There are others, but the point has been made. When you consider that "famous" is often used to mean "beloved", your ignorance is showing.
