Let's Talk Pickles!

[EarlJam]

Do you like them dill, bread and butter or other?

Garlic, sour, so that your lips burn. Anything else is a cucumber. My favorite from the store are Bubbies. Try them! You MUST. They have them in Durham (What's that grocery store behind Elmos- World Market? Whole Foods? It used to be something else though...) They also have them in So Cal and in Vegas. Don't say I didn't warn you, though...

Did you mean 'pickles?'

Or did you mean Pocious?

[CameronBornAndBred]

I'm a bread and butter pickle guy, but I'll eat any. My favorite are the ones I make myself out of the garden.

Believe it or not, and I promise it's true, I know the traditional spelling is "pickles." I just don't like it. And I"m passionate enough about "PICKELS" to spell it my way........all the time.

Part of my disdain for going to the cinema these days is the stuff offered for food in the movies. Last week, we saw Indiana Jones at the dollar cinema. What should they sell at the food stand... a $3 pickle.

SINCE WHEN did pickles become movie food?

There is nothing worse than watching a movie, eating your popcorn, and smelling a pickle behind you.

I'll admit that it's only mildly better than the one time when someone near me was munching on fried chicken.

And some people wonder why I don't regularly go to the movies!

I'm on the same pickle page, its nice but in the right location and setting. I thought you didn't go to the movies regularly because too many tall people sitting in front of you.

There are no better pickles in America than those served at Tony Packo's in Toledo. A "spicy" dill served as a side dish with just about everything on the menu. You can also get them deep fried as an appetizer, or a bowl of pickles and peppers to go with the draft Shiner Bock. Good stuff.

Even better when those pickles accompany one of Tony's hot dogs before a Mud Hens game!

You covered quite a bit of "thread-ery" with that description as you discussed Packo's, pickles, side dishes, appetizers (ymm, deep-fried pickles) and beer.

BTW, Lavabe, can you purchase Packo's in Lexington? If so, where? If so, bring some down with you next weekend-puhleeezze.

I had a friend named Bob. Everyone was confused because he always spelled his name backward.

Kosher dills-from the deli-almost any deli-right out of the brine

Ymm, pickles

[YmoBeThere]

the brine

LOL, that's a selling point...

[devildeac]

LOL, that's a selling point...

Seriously, right out of the large jar they are sold from, dripping with the brine in which they have been cured. Goes great with a sub/hoagie/grinder and a (diet) coke/pepsi.

Ymm, pickles
Ymm, hoagies

No Coke, Pepsi...

[Lavabe]

It's not the tall people.

It's the loud people:

"What did he just say?"
"Oh, here's the part where he ..."
"Oh, I like this part."

Note to self: some people should be eliminated from cinemas.

No Coke, Pepsi...

I've been inside several Pepsi bottling plants.

I like Coke.

Not at the Olympia Cafe!

[Lavabe]

I cast my vote for sour pickles.

And of course, I relish Tony Packo's.

Cheers,

IIRC, late in that series of skits, I think the line became, "no pepsi, coke."
