Let's Talk Pickles!

Blashphemy! Haha, I only have vague memories of the skits and am predisposed to the "No Coke, Pepsi." side.

Any kind of pickle. Any time. I put pickles on everything. Or relish. Yum.

I love going to Ted's Montana Grill - not just because bison is delicious, but because they bring out a little bowl of homemade pickle chips to snack on while you wait for your food.

Deep fried pickles are a gift from heaven.

The Sawmill Taproom several miles from our house is the 1st place I have ever had this "delicacy." A nice appetizer to be shared and accompanied by a pale ale.

Don't think there is a recipe in that thread for this.

A nice big kosher sour dill pickle, from a nice Jewish deli, preferably the Carnegie Deli, right next to a pastrami sandwich!

I made an adjustment to Ozzie's wish list... emphasis added.

I love latkes and matzo ball soup, but NOT with a dill pickle. But I'd love a pastrami sandwich right now!

I'm afraid I agree with Ozzie 100% here. If there's no pastrami, I'd go with a corned beef sandwich from said Carnegie Deli. The only other item I'd add would be a knish (potato, meat, or kasha).

I make some mean kasha varnishkes.

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

I'm willing to go bigger than just cinemas. :-)

Oh yeah, and I love all pickles. I prefer dill over bread & butter, but I'm down with latter, very down. I'm also a big fan of pickled okra, and other pickled vegetables. Not so much pickled eggs or pickled pigs feet.

I'll echo dd by saying that the best deep fried pickles I've had were at the Sawmill Taproom in Raleigh. The ones at Tyler's Taproom at Durham's American Tobacco complex are good too.

I don't have a recipe. But if I were going to do it, I'd make a cornmeal batter (like something you'd put on catfish) and dredge pickle chips in it. Deep fry in 365 degree canola oil. Serve with a side of a spicy ranch-style dressing.

Bread & butter chips or dill chips?

A potato knish would be an acceptable replacement for the latkes.

You'd still need one of the Sawmill's selection of fine draft ales to accompany that appetizer.

Why would you go and ruin a perfectly good cucumber?!?

No pickles for me!
