<human>:  Could pickled cucumbers from 1,000 years ago be good still?
<bot>: No, pickled cucumbers from 1,000 years ago would probably not be good still. Pickled foods disintegrate over time. Pickling and preserving technology from 1,000 years ago was not airtight or made for longevity. So pickled cucumbers from 1,000 years ago would probably not be good still.
