Yes, I enjoyed that running gag quite a bit actually.

They would go on and on about it every time the subject came back. The could never convince each other.

'A Pickle' means a pickled cucumber, specifically.
If it's anything else, it will have a different name, most likely beginning with the word 'pickled.' [i.e. Pickled eggs, pickled lettuce ect.] is saurkraut pickled? I'm not sure, but if it is you wouldn't call it a pickle would you?
Your husband is confused.
