For a good part of my life I worked in movie theatres.
Now in the theatres in the Midwest at least, it was common for the concession stand to have these giant dill pickles.
I couldn’t stand them.
Anyway, one day these two teenage girls come up (14?) and one of them asks if I can put her pickle in a cup and put the ‘butter’ for the popcorn on the pickle.
Her friend and I were aghast. But she convinced her friend to try it and the friend was instantly converted to the butter pickle faith.
You can’t believe it? This is the first time I’ve ever heard of another person who does it.
It started when a babysitter wanted to make peanut butter n’ fluffernutter sammiches for her charges. I, being a difficult child, refused to eat marshmallow fluff, and so she substitued with mayo for appearance’s sake.
Why? Do they have good sammiches there? hopeful
There’s a whole group of sammich-sayers here and you can have our sammiches when you pry them from our cold dead sticky fingers. Which won’t take long if we all indulge in peanut butter, bacon and mayo sammiches.
My six year old son likes peanut butter and mayo too. He got the idea from a little girl at daycare who brought it every day. I make it for him, but I gag while I’m doing it.
Oh, barfity-barf! That’s my-two-year old-dipping-his-pancakes-in-ketchup degree of barfiness.
Is it Kinsey Millhone (Sue Grafton mysteries) who eats PB and pickle sandwiches? That makes me want to hurl, too, but PB and mayo may be The Most Vile Combo I’ve ever heard likes of.
