As for your second question, it depends. There are endless amounts of herbs and spices that can be used in pickling. Some examples off the top of my head are peppercorns, allspice, mustard seeds, chillies, coriander, cumin, cardamom, cloves, star anise, turmeric. With the amount of ways you can pickle and the amount of foods that can be pickled it's kind of funny that cucumbers got the title of "pickles". Here in NZ and I'm not sure what other countries they're usually called gherkins.

Ok, well I know what dill is and how it can be used for many things. I meant more in conduction with the "pickled things" scenario.
So, for the egg situation, what is a pickled egg? A few love em, a few hate em, but it seems to me there is a whole host of flavors that can be applied to said egg.
For example, I love dill pickles, and hate pretty much every other type of pickles. So if I say I love pickles, someone may confuse that with sweet pickles or something and say "sweet pickles are gross!"
So, what is a pickled egg? Garlic? Dill? Onion? Sweet? What?
