Not-Such-A-Good-Idea Food Combos

They're still pickles, aren't they??

I've tried them all. I still can't manage them. I didn't just up and decide I don't like pickles, like I know not every hot dog is an Oscar Mayer, there are brand variations. But it matters not from whence it came ... Heinz, Claussen, Vlassic, breakfast pickle-on-a-stick at the RenFaire, Deep Fried Pickles (every thing is supposed to be better deep fried, isn't it?) or even the vaunted nirvana of the big barrel at the deli ... they are still pickles. I smell pickles in brine and I lose my appetite. I cannot order a McDonalds Cheeseburger as it comes and just pick the pickle off. The juice is still there. It touched the meat, and more importantly, the bread. The pickles that every restaurant insists you have with your sandwich is also anathema, as there is an excellent likelihood that it will at least spoil some of the chips into a mass of gooey pickley wetness, but there is danger that it may also touch and soak into the bread of a perfectly good club sandwich. Chik-Fil-A has at least come up with the "Chik-no-Pic" order, which allows me to enjoy that wonderful, crunchy sandwich. Anyone who has been with me at Michael's Deli knows for sure i can't stand pickles. I am NOT one to pass up free food ... I make them put the bucket of free pickles in front of somebody else

Um.

I don't like pickles.
