Hey, leave pickles to us salty food fans and, for those Bread and Butter pickle fans, eat cheesecake or something that truly cures your sweet-tooth.

I hate pickles and almost everything pickled. The exceptions:
-Sweet relish.
-Pickled garlic.
I once ate a pickle wedge due to starvation at Katz's in NYC. But it was more cucumber than pickle, so it was tolerable

I love pickles too! They have to be low in calories, right (Humor me if necessary!)

But the fairly spicy pickles you get in Israel are really good I don't know where to get them here.

Pickles (and olives) in jars qualify as "liquids" and are banned from the aircraft cabin in the US. Thus pickles in carry-on will be searched out and confiscated by the TSA.

Anyone besides me recall the "pickle harvest" joke that Charles Kuralt played on Walter Cronkite during the evening news? Apparently they re-used video tape at that time, so the segment is lost to history.
