Pickles, Cucumbers Peaches Or Beets?

Today in class we watched a video all about Galileo and his trial, and i have come away thinking that i am really glad that we no longer burn people alive for free thinking.
Then I got back to my room and got distracted with thoughts about Freud, horses, and thorny rose bushes. Feel free to try to unpack any of that if you wish. :D But here's my thought for today, why is it that of all the things you can pickle cucumbers get the default? I mean, why doesn't anyone call pickled peaches just pickles? And for that matter, why not eggs or ham--can you pickle ham? But it is it just that cucumbers change so completely, or is there some other reason?
lol This is what happens when I sit around with too much time on my hands. But seriously, if you do have an answer, feel free to post it, I'd love to know. Or maybe we'll make a contest of it and whoever comes up with the best answer is the one we'll go with hahaha. Ok, that's it from me for now,
TTFN!
