    hehe no worries, thought you'd come back with a stabbed hand and i'd feel guilty for a minute. Gotta say though, pickled cabbage? Sounds rather nasty to me, but everyone
    has their own taste i suppose.

    I have a small bottle of ginger beer with the same problem, it's been in the fridge for a week as no-one can get the lid off.

    Probably just as well, there's only one so it saves any fighting over it. :D

    Tried that....all i suceeded in doing was bending my knife. I've tried running it under hot water, banging it on the counter top (no idea why but my dad used to do that)

    I'm thinking of taking it down to the local garage and asking if they have any air tools they could use to open it with.

    The easiest thing to do would be buy another jar but I am NOT letting this beat me now on principle!!! LOL oh god i'm still laughing.:rotfl:

    My OH would be overjoyed if he still worked in a garage and got asked to do it, maybe you should try that. Probably make their day!

    Having said that, he could probably open it, but I'm in Dorset and that's a long way, even for satanic cabbage :p

    Pickled cabbage [esp if you grew and pickled it yourself] is fantastic. Even better is pickled courgette. Scrummy.
    If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.

    I agree.

    I hope my pickled cabbage predicament has given everyone a giggle at least if i've not converted them into lovers of the food :D

    Stanley knife through the lid...worked a treat!!!!

    Unfortunately the lid came off with such a POP, I dropped the whole thing on the floor of the garage and i now need a new jar of pickled cabbage...LOL

    Thank you for all the ideas though :)

  • OMG I've just been to put the broken glass in the recycling bin and 2 of the neighbours were looking at me rather strangely. Wasn't till i walked past the hallway mirror that i realised I have white tracksuit bottoms on, and the back of them is covered from the juice from the jar.

    I jumped over the jar as i dropped it and it must have splashed me. I look like i'm covered in blood!!!!

    My poor neighbours probably now think i'm a serial killer.
