Peppermint Pickles
This baffles me:
That's what is called a Peppermint Pickle.
And apparently, it's a legit thing.
From the Chicago Tribune:
Some people on the South Side make a snack out of pushing a peppermint stick into a pickle and biting straight in. I wouldn't exactly call it a widespread phenomenon, but in neighborhoods with large populations of African-Americans, the snack is semi-popular.
I'm all for weird food combos (example: pickles on my McChicken), but a peppermint stick shoved into a dill pickle? That one is out there.
Out for now.......
