I like a good dill pickle.  You know, the ones sold at high school football games.  I have tried to purchase them myself, from Sam’s Club, but they never taste the same.  Ever.  (True story, there are two large open jars of pickles in my pantry as we speak.)

When someone first asked me if I wanted to try a fried pickle, I looked at them like they were crazy before finally trying one.  I was surprised to find they were nothing I would have expected.  When I found out how easy it was to make said fried pickles, I was interested.
