   It's interesting that Donald Simanek reported the observation that
the glow in the pickle occurs around only one electrode.  That agrees
with what we saw when I did this experiment in class.  In my case, I
used the same pickle to demonstrate the effect several times, and the
glow did not always occur at the same end of the pickle.  Also, I
don't think I'd eat the thing if it were electrocuted more than once.
After the first time, it was just warm and probably would've been OK.
But after four or five electrocutions, it was getting pretty grungy.
(I stored the pickle in some of the brine from the jar between
observations to keep it well soaked.)
