Because of my food allergies I couldn't eat pickles for years and about a year ago I was delighted to find some with no ingredients I'm allergic to. My husband and I eat them nearly every day in sandwiches for lunch and I chop the pickles to put in tuna and potato salad in the summer.
But that's not all.
I've discovered that many foods taste delicious when cooked in pickle juice. For quick, homemade meals I often pour pickle juice over fish or chicken parts and microwave them. That's an easy way for kids to prepare a main dish.
And celery, cut up and boiled in a mixture of pickle juice and water, makes a tasty vegetable that might appeal to some fussy eaters.
If kids like sweet pickles, a few of the tiny ones are a good green veggie to pack in a school lunch.
I hope some of these suggestions appeal to other people. Maybe there will be more pickle addicts as a result.

Hi Janet, interesting post. I know some pickle addicts. My husband, my son and my son's best friend. My husband likes spicy or garlicy ones, but especially likes the homemade ones I home can.
Try the pickle juice over pork chops or chicken breasts baked in the oven. Marinate the meat in the pickle juice for 24 hours.
Put cucumber spears in the pickle juice to make your own homemade pickles. Let them sit in the juice for 24-48 hours before eating.
Can you tell we eat a lot of pickles??
It's nice to know I'm not the only one, Suzanne. Thanks for the suggestions.
