Pickled?
Dear Everyone,
I looked up the meanings of "pickled" in the dictionary and I realized that there are cases where I can't decide which meaning is meant... For example here:
"A relish is a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooking, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickling, or chopped http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetable or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit food item which is..."
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relish )
Is this the case where the vegetables/fruits will be made more sour (and also preserved) by fermentation, or where we put them in a juice which is seasoned similarly to what spices we use for varieties of meat?
Can pickling include fermentation at all?
Could you clear this up for me, please? Thank you

Thank you very much, Rover. So pickling cannot refer to a process where there isn't fermentation (for example, when we soak slices of meat in seasoned oil for a couple hours before baking them)... Am I right?
Thank you in advance.

Soaking slices of meat in seasoned oil for a couple hours before baking is called 'marinating'.
Marinate |'mar??nat| verb [ trans. ]
To soak (meat, fish, or other food) in a marinade.
Example: The beef was marinated overnight in red wine vinegar and seasoned olive oil before it was baked for 20 minutes at 220°.
