Talk to me

It's a gloomy, chilly, gray October morning. I'm all alone at home.

Remind me that there are people out there besides the ones on the tv. Tell me something you think I should know about you.

I'm crunchy in... hmmm, that's been covered.

I eat my pickle in between halves of sandwiches. Depending on the sandwich, I prefer them sour (eg dill). Sweet pickles are a condiment.

Whole or sliced? I use sliced pickles (dill) in a lot of sandwich varieties. Also with fried fish.

I like sweet gherkins or other sweet pickles as appetizers sometimes. My grandmother's watermelon pickles were wonderful.

Preferably whole, though spears are okay. The dill-er the better for the proper sandwiches: eg roast beef, Rueben and such.

Sweet pickles (sliced) go great on hamburgers (at which point I use mustard and not ketchup). I don't know about appetizers, but I'll smack on pickles. Either the smaller sweet ones, or the big juicy Kosher Dills.

Watermelon pickles sound great!

Grandma's watermelon pickles were little works of art: like stained glass in appearance and Sooo sweet and spicy. It's a pity she didn't pass the skill on to any of her descendents (that I know of.)

I'm a purist when it comes to condiments. Pickles are about the only thing that appeals to me. They're (dill) the only thing I'll put on burgers (aside from BBQ sauce, bacon and cheese.)
