febobeI need to get my sign-up done once I post this; maybe I can put the image into the next post. I do want to say how excited I am that so many people are taking this on. Everyone's challenge choices sound so very exciting and I can't wait to enjoy them all! :)
Today's entry, my very first, is from the 100 Foods (I Love To Talk About) edition. Bon appetit!
Sweet pickles were the first pickle I ever liked, and they're one of my all-time favorite foods. (As a matter of fact, I'm about to dig into one of the two new jars of sweet petites I bought this afternoon.) Incidentally, they're also the name of a really cute children's book series from my own childhood, though I loved the food before I ever encountered the books.
Today, I'll sometimes eat dill or bread and butter pickles, but sweets are still something I love more than any other variety. I have been known to eat them by themselves, though I also really like them with salty potato chips (plain). Which is, I realize, a sodium disaster, but that's what I love. I just try not to eat that combination nearly as often as I used to. ;)
My favorite sweet pickles are the little pickle packs you can get here at Sureway, little individual cups sold four to a pack, just delicious sweet pickles packed in juice, which I drain off before enjoying. They're wonderful and help me not eat too many at one time, which is sometimes a temptation. A *serious* temptation.
Sweet pickles do not feature prominently in most of my writing. I'm sure hobbits would have them, just...it's not high on the list, as some of the other foods I'll be discussing are. Notably, sweet pickles are exactly what I've always had in mind when there is the call, "And bring out the cold chicken and pickles!" in The Hobbit. :) (I mean, they COULDN'T have meant DILL, surely?!?) There is an episode of LOOTR on my drawing-board, though, which calls for pickles, so that may well turn out to be a sweet pickle fest for Frodo and friends.
And yes, I like relish, though mostly just on hot dogs. ;)
What kind(s) of pickles do YOU like best, dear friends? :)
Cheers,
Febobe :)
