Yes, pickles. Dill, midgets, gherkins, bread and butter, kosher, spears ... pickles.
Are pickles a vegetable? They are made from cucumbers after all. Cucumbers are a vegetable. But then the cukes are soaked in ... in ... pickling stuff to make them into pickles. Does the pickling stuff negate the powers of the vegetable? Are the nutrients from the cucumber still in the pickle? Or does the pickling stuff totally neuter the nutrients?
Then, to really add insult to injury, the pickles can be fried which turn them into all sorts of yumminess. Mmmm! If they were categorized as a vegetable before, are they even less of a vegetable after being fried? Do we get ANY of our daily serving of vegetables by eating fried pickles?
I ask these questions because we ate some last night. And then a few more for good measure. And they were good. Yummy good. And the Turkey argued that it counted toward his daily veggie intake. Who am I to argue? (As I eat another one. Mmm!)
