Hamisher/heimisher gherkins are the particularly big, thick ones. Delicious with rollmop herring, coleslaw, organic veg. and bread.
Just like being back in dear old Lithuania.

The Yiddish version is spelled Heimishe. It refers to someone who is a very strictly observant Orthodox Jew and dresses accordingly; usually a Hasidic person.

Got it!
Its a secret society (or maybe a religeous sect) who believe the world
will come to an end if they were to stop running round inside of a treadwheel.
Something like whirling Dervishes, but without the sick bags.

A tool in the bag of a Scottish burglar. Basically a specialized crowbar.

They're sort of like guinea pigs. Like in, "I got my kid a hamisher for a pet. And them's good eatin', too."

There is a style (or brand?) of gherkins called Hamish.

Are they allowed to eat ham?
I thought it was an obscure Scottish religeous sect. You know. All riding round in tartan buggies?

"Noshers" is Yiddish for snackers or eaters, so I'd still bet on the Yiddish meaning.

It's definitely some sort of food. I suspect Scots, although Ken Shales wa a Basildon boy.

Anyone know what a Hamisher is?

I came across a reference thereto in Ken Shale's 1960s book "Brewing Better Beers" in a poem about drinking and eating "We are good noshers, too"
