Ha ha heh. I love all pickles. I guess growing up in the Country makes one love them. But we pickled everything, pickled cauliflower, okra, green beans, bell peppers (cut up chunks), you name it, we pickled it. It was kind of neat, being that you don't usually see non-pickled items in the store hardly. I guess when you don't have electricity, and such, you tend to pickle things, so they'll last longer.

Wanted to add other things we pickled...watermelon, tomatoes (and one other poster mushrooms)...

So neat...
