Ever been at a buffet-style dinner party and grabbed what would seem to be an innocent and delicious pickle from the veggie tray?
You save the bumpy, briny little gem for a moment that is just right.
Maybe to wake up the taste buds between two bland dishes or as a salty supplement to a well built sandwich.
You hold it up to your mouth, take a bite of the perfectly preserved, miniature cucumber, and, what the?
It's friggin' sweet!
If you must serve sweet pickles: Please label the disgusting little pieces of crap so you don't screw with people who like normal pickles.
Thank you for your cooperation.

As we all ramp up for our holiday parties, meals, and get-togethers; I’m sure there are some of you out there who enjoy and will be serving sweet pickles.
Although I do not understand you, I do acknowledge your right to do so.
I am only asking that you place a card or a toothpick with a small label that says “sweet” in their midst.
I believe that this simple act will alleviate a lot of unnecessary taste bud shock and gagging.
I appreciate your assistance with this pressing matter.

I love sweet pickles. I never eat dill pickles if I'm going to be around other people. I hate that bad breath that you get from those big, fat dill pickles. If you want to get rid of a date, just eat one of those suckers at dinner.
By the way, they now have those sweet and spicy pickles. They are the best!

As far as sweet pickles go in mom's house, I learned to choke them down if momma put them on the plate. Which was rare, thankfully.
And I cannot resist the temptation, to mention the Evilest of all Evils. People who bring sweet-pickle relish to Hot Dog picnics, in unmarked containers. I learned to sniff first early.

I like the occasional sweet pickle.
I have more of a disappointed reaction to what looks like a delicious, sour dill pickle and when you bite into it you find that dill has been nowhere near it and worse- that it is made with vinegar, not pickled .
Real dill picklesl have a bite to them these ertzatz vinegar pretend dill pickles don't even come close.

Cantors Deli on Fairfax here in L.A. have fantastic real Kosher dill pickles! I have a book called "Every Goy's Guide to Common Jewish Expressions" and the author describes any pickles that are not real deli pickles as cucumber cadavers.

cucumber cadavers.
That is hilarious! Yes, real dill pickles are made with large heads of real actual dill, garlic,kosher salt and the pickling process in the natural brine gives them that 'zing' ,the tangy bite that comes from flavor and lactic acid fermentation process.

I love pickled beets, especially on a salad.

Stinkweed,
Thank you for proving me wrong. Just last night (I swear) I was complaining to my best friend about how contentious and pissy and political the vine had gotten and that I was considering deleting my account. This (to the best of my recollection) is what I said:
Someone could write a F#^&ing article about pickles and people would get on their and say "only liberals like sweet pickles" or "those republicans ruined dill pickles for me" and that there is no way to get away from politics and in-fighting on even the most innocuous or fun articles.
I was wrong.

In many Hispanic homes, there is a seasoning dish we make to add to soups, salsas, salads, tacos, etc. Because there are people who don't like the pungent taste cilantro has.
Spanish onions with cilantro.

I didn't have cilantro until I moved out to California in my 20s, and it was everywhere. I loved it, as there was nothing quite like it.
Unfortunately, I'm rather kind of sick of it now. Just because it's mexican food doesn't mean you have to put cilantro on it.

Exactly.
The flavor of cilantro is so pungent that it takes away from the flavor of some dishes.

I'm a native New Mexican. I grew up around Mexican Food, and I never heard of cilantro until about 12 years ago. And that was just as an ingredient in salsa. Some restaurants do put a bit too much in their salsa.

I grew up with cilantro being used in our home long before cilantro became popular. It is very popular in foods cooked in Ecuador where my dad is from.
It's just one of those things that has become so ingrained in Americanized food that it just seems that it's actually part of the (original) cuisine.

Northern New Mexican cuisine is a bit different than 'old'Mexico. Plus my Mom learned to cook 'Mexican', from her coworkers in the office she worked, way back in the 1960s. I'm not sure if cilantro was available in Albuquerque stores, back then. Then again, back in those days we'd often have chorizo with breakfast. That stopped, when she started reading the list of ingredients.

My dad managed a popular Mexican place in San Francisco and learned basically at the knee of 4 generations of Mejicanas how to cook Comida Casera (home cooking).
Thankfully when I crave really good Mexican food my parents can cook it so I dont have to subject myself to the nastiness that if Florida style "Mexican" food.
Costa Rican and Ecuadorian food (where my parents are from) are hardly reminiscent of anything Mexican so I grew up with a delicious mesclada of cuisines.....holiday meals were wild at my house--American favorites, Costa Rican, Ecuadorian, Italian, Asian, German.
Cilantro was always a condiment though.

Excellent! Sounds incredible.
Cilantro reminds me of Latin American and Asian cuisines. It's such a punch of "fresh" wherever it goes, especially when accompanied with fresh lime (juice and/or zest). Yum!

I dont have a song about pickles just a funny little story.
My mom had a childcare and one of the little girls named Michaela loved pickles. One day I was in the kitchen and she kept asking me for PEPOS.
Pepos? Yeah, Miss Susi Pepos.
She got frustrated with me and finally pointed at the jar of pickles.
Needless to say the name has stuck to this day.
