Isaac and I have established that a burger isn’t a burger without pickles. We both agreed that our pulled pork sandwiches (last night's dinner) was no exception to the pickle rule. I love pretty much anything pickled. I have been a pickle lover ever since I could remember.
Growing up, my elementary school, Erwin Street Elementary had a fall festival each year. Some classrooms had a different game theme, one classroom housed all the prizes where one could “buy” stuff with the winning tickets.
Yet, my most favorite classroom of all had a huge barrel filled with the fattest pickles I had ever seen. The classroom with the barrel of pickles was the place I searched out first. I could still remember what they tasted like. And I can still remember the feeling I got with that first bite of that sour, tart pickle!
Each summer I end up pickling some sort of veggies. This past week I choose English cucumbers, radishes, and purple onions. I also threw in a shallot, sliced thin! The pulled pork could stand on it’s own, but adding these veggies made it that much better.
