The dark amber liquid and golden onions are visible through the clear glass, with the premium M&S branding and allergy information clearly displayed on the label.

Bald man with glasses holding up a large jar of "The Dogs Bollocks" pickled onions in malt vinegar from The Funky Food Co., featuring a distinguished dog illustration on the label. Behind him is his familiar home office setup with collectibles on shelves, a bright blue door, computer monitors displaying what appears to be a fantasy landscape, and a rubber duck amongst the various pop culture memorabilia. His expression suggests he's about to deliver a verdict on this rather boldly-named preserve.

Photo: Two sealed jars of Baxters pickled onions sitting side by side on a wooden surface - one large silverskin onions, one regular silverskin onions - with an aardvark print on turquoise material as backdrop. Both jars display the classic Baxters branding with "Passionate About Good Food Since 1868" on the lids, ready for the tasting that's about to commence.

Screen grab: Bald man with glasses and a purple beard wearing a black Inspiral Carpets t-shirt with green text reading "cool as fuck" and a cow wearing green sunglasses, holding up a jar of balsamic pickled onions towards the camera. Behind him is his familiar home office with shelves of collectibles, a bright blue door, and various pop culture memorabilia. His expression suggests he's about to deliver another informed verdict on the quality of preserved alliums.

Bald man with glasses and a purple beard holding up two jars of Baxters pickled silverskin onions - on the left "Large Silverskin Onions" and on the right "Silverskin Onions" - both with distinctive red and white Baxters labels. The jars are held close to the camera, showing the onions floating in their brown pickling liquid. Behind him is his disorganised home office setup with collectibles on shelves, including what appears to be a rubber duck and various pop culture memorabilia. His expression suggests he's mid-explanation, presumably about the merits of Scotland's finest preserved alliums.

Two glass jars of pickled silverskin onions from Aldi's Deli range sit on a dark wooden surface against a shimmering silver disco ball backdrop. The left jar contains "Sweet Silverskin Onions" with tiny onions in a dirty brown liquid, whilst the right jar holds plain "Silverskin Onions" with pale white onions. Both have black lids and white labels featuring illustrated onions.

Bald man with glasses and a purple beard wearing a grey t-shirt with "ACTUALLY AUTISTIC" in yellow and orange text, holding up two jars of pickled silverskin onions - one labelled "Pickled Silverskin Onions" and the other "Pickled Sweet Silverskin Onions". Behind him is a cluttered home office with shelves of collectibles, a bright blue door, and computer monitors displaying a purple cartoon aardvark. The expression suggests he's about to deliver a verdict that could make or break someone's onion-pickling career.
