For instance, some folks think that the two pickle slices on a Chik-fil-A sandwich are gross. I think they are crucial.
I like lots of pickle chips on a burger or deli sandwich.
But please do not ruin my egg salad by putting pickles in it.

Pickle lovers would like me - they can have all my pickles!

Thanks! Whenever I eat a dish that comes with a pickle spear or slices on the side, I always eat the pickle(s) first, and then ask any tablemates whether they want theirs.

I'm ambivilant. Or perhaps I should say amphibious! I like kosher dill pickles, and usually eat them when served, but not always - I have to be in the mood for it. I like Chik-fil-A original sandwiches with and without the pickles (I order them with but don't usually add them if they are served without.) I don't order burgers or sandwiches without, but I don't usually specify them if they are optional. I do like my twoallbeefpattiesspecialsaucelettucecheesepicklesonionsonasesameseedbun with the pickles. Of course, I add a ton of ketchup to it too

Yup, I'm amphibious!

I am with wilson on all pickle accounts. Pickles are a must on my chicken sandwiches. I love it when other people don't want their pickle!

I'm not pick(l)y, but I do have preferences for what type of pickle I want for certain sandwiches. Pickle chips of the Mt. Olive variety are best served on warm sandwiches (hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, etc.). Kosher spears are best when served along side a cold sandwich. Kosher slices goes best inside a cold sandwich. Whole kosher pickles make the best snack.

Vlassic pickles are best when someone else eats them.

I eat my pickle last. It's sort of like my dessert. Unless I'm having dessert, then the pickle is the precursor to my dessert.

Goldberg's. Several varieties.

No way.

If there is a pickle on my plate, I offer it around the table to get it off the plate as soon as possible. I hate pickle juice on my fries or chips - which is where they always seem to be placed.

No mention of sour pickles?

Oy!

TWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!

I'm calling foul on this. Pastrami on rye is a WARM sandwich; one would NEVER put Mt. Olive pickle chips (dill or bread n butter) on this classic sandwich.
15 yard penalty.

After further review, there was no foul on the play. Lavabe is assessed a 15 yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct.
No where in my post did I indicate that pickles MUST be served on warm sandwiches. I only state that they are best served on warm sandwiches. I would never put pickles on Pastrami.

End of discussion.

Unless we start talking about old-fashioned outta the large jar of brine on the deli counter type pickles.

Ha!

I actually stopped at an old deli on the way home last night for a "to go" order and almost bought one of those pickles! I almost bought some marinated garlic cloves also. This thread immediately came to mind as I waited for my order! I used to love eating those pickles!!!!

But you WOULD put pickle chips in a ramekin.

I've been catching those shows recently and they are indeed fascinating to watch! If they do tours, I would be interested in that. I am always amazed at the precision of the custom machinery to produce end-products in mass, but I still like doing it the old fashioned way as well, something very special about that. ;)

Once when I was 8 months pregnant with Tommy, #3 son, I ate what was left of the vanilla ice cream in the freezer. It was around 11pm at night and my husband was out of town. I was still hungry after I finished the ice cream, so I opened the fridge to see what else was available. There it was, a jar of sweet gherkins. I ate those too. Then I realized what I had just done. It's true, pregnant women will indeed eat pickles and ice cream. Although I do think it should be noted, I did not eat them together. It was one after the other. If we're being extremely specific, I ate ice cream and pickles.

I do not like pickles in egg salad. I do like them in tuna salad. I also like eggs in my tuna salad. I do not claim to be entirely logical.

Careful with the Mt. Olive products...while it's generally good to support a North Carolina company, they've been in some hot water over the years with regard to their labor practices. There was a big stink/boycott about this while I was at Duke. I dunno whether or not they've rectified past wrongs.
