Bread and Butter Pickles
What do bread and butter have to do with pickles? Well, they are a great accompaniment to sandwiches. These pickles are almost always found sliced, and they are not as sweet as sweet pickles nor as lip-puckering as dill pickles. They are the happy-medium of the pickle family, perfect when you want something sweet, salty, crunchy and fresh. And they much lower in calories than anything else with the same flavor reward such as a bag kettle corn your favorite chips.
Relishing Relish
Even the neon-green variety of hot-dog relish is made from pickles. You can also find dill relish, and relish with mustard added to it. Spooning this snappy condiment onto your favorite burger or adding it to sauces is a great way to get your pickle fix without eliciting pickle and ice cream pregnancy jokes.
Sweet Pickles
To pickle purists who like the lip-puckering pickle action of grown-up pickles, sweet pickles are an aberration. When you’re nine months pregnant, however, no pickle-purist would dare mock you if you are craving something sweet and crunchy. They know better than to get between a grumpy almost mama and her pickle fix.
Sliced, whole, quartered, stackers or minced for relish, the pickle is the great equalizer among craving-crazed pregnant women.
