I agree with your assessment of a really good martini. I notice that yours has no onion. 
In your next ice cream cone, I challenge you to add an onion “garnish” that is SUNK INTO THE ICE CREAM, and say it doesn’t make much difference. You can even get juniper flavoured ice cream, if you want
What ever dumb bastard that decided that pickles and fried chicken go together needs his male bits drawn and quartered
Only time pickles and chicken needs to get near each other is chicken salad and even that’s a maybe
So kfc and anyone else that perpetuates that crap needs a never ending case of anal fleas …
Tequila gets a bad rap, but a flight of tequilas is awesome.
I kind of think it’s because bad tequila is SO bad, and mediocre tequila is pretty much ubiquitous.
However, the best reposados or anejos are up there with high-end scotch or bourbon as far as drinking straight is concerned.
Yep. a flight of repasados or anejos from several different distilleries is an eye opening experience.
Oh, man, I guess we gotta send my balls off into the chipper. Pickles and fried anything go well together! (It’s just been engrained with me, growing up with Eastern European parents and a fairly traditional culinariy household, that you always serve something pickled with fried or fatty foods. It’s like bread and butter to me. But KFC doesn’t usually serve pickles with their fried chicken. Coleslaw is the standard side. Or do you mean on the sandwich? I’m not sure I’ve ever had one of their sandwiches, but just ask for it off, of course, and spare my manly bits! )
KFC is just following Chik-fil-A’s lead in putting pickles on their chicken sandwiches. I agree with puly - the fried demands the pickle.
Monopolowa used to be the best kept cheap secret in town. Now when Twin Liquors has their dollar days, those handles are the first to run out.
I get the sandwiches I mean stuff like that "Nashville gold " which looked like pickle/relish all over normal fried chicken ……
Honestly, I wouldn’t know. I don’t think I’ve ever had it. If I see it, I’ll buy a bottle and see what the vodka drinkers of the family think. I personally am not well-versed enough on vodkas to have any strong opinions, other than some vodkas are gag-inducing; some go down nice; and some are way overpriced. That’s about the range I have.
No, they are right, since it really isn’t FRIED chicken so much as really hot spicy chicken, the pickles help cool it, same as the celery and blue cheese with buffalo wings.
According to Stephen Fry, that’s the only joke he has ever heard Prince Charles tell.

My cover has been blown!
No.
I read this completely wrong.
And now I can’t time anything but a pickle or a chicken! 
100% agree. A quick rinse is fine, does the trick nicely. It’s the timeless soak that gets you in trouble.
[QUOTE=I have never heard of ‘charcuterie’. It’s nothing but a fancy cheese and meat tray. What’s the big deal. I don’t feel so bad never hearing that word before. Ahh! Life in the woods. I ain’t missing much, it seems.[/QUOTE]
You could probably even get away with pronouncing it 'charcutatree. You know, being a woodsperson and all.
Okay, that was lame . . . :rolleyes:
Can I come live with you? I don’t take up much room . . . maybe I could sleep in a garden shed, or the attic.
I’d wash your windows, even.
I’d not heard of this before. There can be no truth more quintessential. I’m adopting this as my philosophy of life.
