I read in Wednesday's paper that International Pickle Week starts Friday and goes through next weekend. Who knew such an event took place? Is there a pickle eating contest at Boone Hall I'm not aware of?? But who would win.. Jackie? Me? Joshie?
Thanks go Google, I found some things about IPW, including e-cards. (If it's important enough for e-cards, it's important enough for me... but then again, we're talking pickles, people!)
I thought the link for Mt. Olive was fitting since, well.. that's the pickles I tend to buy. Though I also like Claussen.
It's just a tiny page stating that this week is IPW. It does indicate that IPW ends at what many view as the official start of summer: Memorial Day.
On the Mt. Olive website there's also fun facts about pickles, such as.... Did you know that pickle juice can help relieve muscle cramps? Athletes are using it for this reason. I wonder if it'll work on menstrual cramps? Also, it may help with hangovers! It doesn't say the amount needed, but I'm guessing maybe a cup. Because of all the salt & whatnot, too much can be bad for you.
Here's to you Mr. Pickle!
