Attention Pickle Perverts

Mark your calendars Pickle Perverts! The 6th Annual New York City Pickle Day Festival is coming up on September 17th. A day that basically celebrates anything preserved in brine, the organisers say Pickle Day expresses the true character of the Lower East Side, bringing to life pickling traditions from diverse American traditions and from the immigrant communities of India, Germany, Poland, China, Japan, Scandinavia, Korea, Vietnam, the Middle East, & Africa. Now speaking of pickles this important event gives me the opportunity to bring up a little product I found recently over at ‘Slashfood’, the ‘PICKLE SICKLE’. Just what every pickle lover needs...... A popsicle made from pickle juice. YUM! At least the makers of this freaky frozen treat seem to have a sense of humour about their pickle popsicles saying that even harder than believing that someone thought up the idea of creating a popsicle made from pickle juice is believing that someone tried it and actually liked it! You can find it at http://www.pickle-sickle.com/ ...where else? I'd hazard a guess a mouth puckering treat if ever there was one.
