food rave of the day (3/25): pickles

[MissMillie]

Actually anything pickled or brined: olives, cucumber, sauerkraut, mushrooms.

I once saw Anne Burrell make a salad w/ homemade pickled cauliflower, so I learned how to make pickled cauliflower.

My dad is a big fan of pickled herring--and was surprised that even as a kid, I liked it too.

[surrealAmerican]

3. I'll eat almost anything if you soak it in brine long enough ...

[NightWatcher]

4. not only do I like pickles, but I used to sip the juice

It's great if you are hot and dehydrated

[Raine1967]

6. Same here!

I love pickle juice.

As I said below, if it has vinegar. it has my heart.

11. Pickle juice beats Gatorade any day!

Especially if it's a good Kosher dill juice with lots of garlic.

5. Please, what would I have to do for your pickled cauliflower recipe?

I grow and can my own dill and kosher dill pickles, Senfgurken, Red cabbage -- oh if it has vinegar, I'll can it!

But I have not yet tried cauliflower. I may even put a few in the garden this year just to pickle and can them!

7. It's here

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/anne-burrell/pickled-cauliflower-salad-with-chanterelles-and-fennel-recipe.html

I never made the whole salad, just the pickled cauliflower.




And as an added bonus, here's the recipe I use to make my own marinated mushrooms.

8. Thank you!

My mouth is watering!

if the snow ever ends today I might get to the store for the ingredients!

(Snow, in DC, on March 25.... blech!)

10. A lazy way would be to use bottled Italian salad dressing.

I will occasionally do mushrooms and canned or frozen artichokes this way. But, that recipe sounds better. Thanks for posting it!

[GoCubsGo]

9. If there was a "most of the above,and then some" option, I'd go for it.

I never had pickled eggs, although I'll happily try them if given the chance. However, I just can't bring myself to eat pig's feet. I do love pickled okra, however, especially homemade. Yum!

12. I'll pass on the animal products

I would pass on the pickled eggs and other pickled animal products. For all the times I used to spend in a bar with a jar of pickled eggs on it, it is amazing that I never tried one. However, I loved any kinds of pickled vegetables and olives.

Peace

13. Bread and butter pickles.

I have made home-made pickles, too. They are sooooo good!

[LiberalEsto]

14. Kosher dills from old-fashioned pickle barrels
