Fried pickles

Just when I was beginning to lose hope, thinking there is nothing left to post about pickles, I found myself staring serendipity in the eye as I discovered the greatest pickle phenomenon of all time! Get ready for it...dun dunn dunnn...FRIED PICKLES! Ingenious? I think so.

I'm going to tell you the story whether you want to hear it or not. Okay, so I was watching "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" on the Food Network, and they were traveling to a place called The Penguin Drive-in in Charlotte, NC. They are famous for their fried pickles! Wahoo for pickles!

Here's a picture of fried pickles, and if you click here, it will take you to The Penguin Drive-in website. (I got the picture off flickr.com, so I don’t know if it’s a picture of The Penguin’s fried pickles or someone else’s. Probably someone else’s)

Fried oreos, fried green beans, fried twinkies, even fried ice cream...none of these can possibly compare to the ingenious and utterly amazing invention of fried pickles. I mean seriously, what will Americans fry up next? This country certainly puts pride in defeating the purpose of vegetables by putting them in fatty liquid, getting that nice crust over them that only deep fry can deliver. Mmm...yummy.
