Famous Dave's and fabulous pickles!

In my opinion, the only good thing about Barbeque is the pickles.  I know this is a very unpopular stance.  Some of you may even be asking, how does your Texas-born husband feel about this?  Not good.  Not good at all.  I grew up in a state where Barbeque usually meant someone was throwing burgers or hotdogs on a grill.  Very rarely did it mean that it was a drippy sauce covered meat that has sides of more meat and mayo ridden salads.  My favorite part of Barbeque, pickles of course.  So today, I am eating  Famous Dave's Signature Spicy Pickle Spears.  These pickles are really good.  This surprises me for a couple reasons.  First, they are called spicy pickles and they are not really that spicy.  There is a little zip to them, but not even enough to call them a little bite.  Second, they are sweet pickles.  I don’t normally like sweet pickles.  I think it must be the taste of the sweet with a touch (just a touch) of spice that I enjoy.  The tangy taste is really enticing!  I could see how these would be very addictive.  My tasting sample was three spears, and now I wish I had more! These pickles are surprisingly crunchy.  Usually pickles that are not deli style are not very crunchy.  (Sorry Vlasic, but it is true.)  These pickles were a pleasant surprise.  So next time my husband is in the mood for some molasses soaked food, I will suggest Famous Dave’s so I can enjoy the delicious pickles.

I think I have found a better use for barbecue sauce.  This article is a little over a year old, but I think this might be a fun way to get revenge.  Aurora woman's car slathered in barbecue sauce, pickles.  Good use for Barbecue sauce but not a good use for pickles!  Why couldn’t the vandals use beans or cole slaw or another traditional side?  Why waste perfectly good pickles?
