Koolickles

[Tam-i-am]

I had my first koolickle this weekend at the Big E. 

Apparently koolickles are a southern thing.  They are dill pickles that have been soaking in cherry kool-aid for several days.

I have to say they taste alright.  But like grits, I could eat  them if they were available but wouldn't miss them if I never ate them again.

I must say this Redneck country Goat has never heard of this.
But I can imagine.

They have not made it this far South yet.  Hopefully they won't.  :

[WDH]

Not familiar with those either.  Must not have penetrated the Deep South yet, at least here in Middle Georgia. 

[Go-fer-wood]

Don't beleve Ive ever seen that before..

we where thinking the same with the grits thing but they made it to Maine  :D

We got Kool-Aid though.  :D :D :D

Google it, and some indication it started in the MS Delta... about 1992 when Clinton managed to get into the White House...

koolickles

I have traveled to and sawmilled a couple of times up there, but I did not partake of the local delicacies.

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

I heard you can take a Goat and soak him in Purple Kool-Aid for 3 days and its called Billieickles.

Tammy,

    Sorry but I'd grown up much further south I'd have been born speaking Spanish and I never heard of them and afraid I will have nightmares tonight just thinking about them. Sounds like a crime against nature (like when MM reversed the order of his bread on a sandwich).

    I'm sorry you have never truly experienced proper grits or you would not be saying you could take or leave them. I was thrilled to find the little grocery outside Yellowstone park in Gardiner Montana has grits. There is culture to be found all over the world.

Beenthere,

   If you are tying Koolickles to the Clinton White house, well that explains it.

The Canadian National Exposition, known locally as the Ex or the CNE prides itself on debuting odd foods. That one should qualify.

[LeeB]

Not found in any of my parts of the south either. You sure you ain't just trying to pass this one off on us?  :D
Now I have been know to put dill pickles in sweet pickle juice along with a few jalapenos.

[Tam-i-am]

I was just sharing what I learned.  I guess there not as popular down south as she suggested.

Magicman - Thanks for finding a link.   I watched the woman make hers and she used a lot less sugar than that link said and they were still very sweet.   She also suggested using the blue koolaid.

I've decided that I'm going to bring them to the next pig roast ;D

[thecfarm]

There are certain things,noticed I said things and not food,that Yankees should not eat. 

[Raider Bill]

Not at any bike swap meet, rally, pig roast or state fair I've ever been to from Florida to Tenn.

[gspren]

  They look similar to something I shovel out of the yard.

[Magicman]

The area referred to in my link above describes a relatively small delta region along Hwy 1.  It's a different world.

[Jeff]

I think I'll stick with the deep fried butter. :D

[Sixacresand]

I've decided that I'm going to bring them to the next pig roast ;D

You bring them and I will try one. (and maybe visit the Harrison ER)  :D

[Magicman]

Pouring off the brine and adding sugar is the way we make a delicious sweet pickle.  Skip the Kool-Aid.

[Tam-i-am]

Where is y'alls sense of adventure?

[LeeB]

Cut in half like in the link they actually look a little more appealing. No different really than doing as I have done and put them in the brine from sweet pickles. Maybe a different color koolaide would help. The eye tells us what we want to eat followed by the nose. I have certainly eaten some mighty strange things over the years in my travels.

[Roxie]

@gspren    :D :D

You said what I was thinking. 

[Tam-i-am]

For sure they were better than her chocolate covered dill pickles!!!!!

LeeB -  I'm with you,  if I were to make them I would use spears or halves to soak up the color and flavor better.

[sprucebunny]

Um....my first reaction was What the heck is that ? and 'Yuck stuff"
Not fond of either ingredient. Like pickles better than Koolaid. Looks scary. 

[21incher]

Never heard of them before. I don't think that I will ever try one either. Sounds almost as bad as pickles and ice cream. 

[Corley5]

Just doesn't sound good at all   

[sawguy21]

That sounds like something our 5 year old grand daughter would come up with. :-\ :-\ Man, the flavors would clash.

[Tam-i-am]

That's what I thought but they don't really.  They sort of work together like sweet and sour sauce.

As grossed out by the idea of them, no one who tried it has said they didn't like them.  Very strange

[sprucebunny]

The people you met who tried them must be very polite  ;D
The rest ran away  :D

Your face made up my mind.  :D :D :D

[Tam-i-am]

Actually he liked them ;D  It just was not what he expected!!!!

I used spears instead of whole pickles and they soaked up the cooled better.  You can't taste the dill at all it just tastes like cherry.

This is Mrs. EZ (Margie) and I must say, I had the opportunity to eat one of these Koolickles Saturday at the Logrite tent and it was fantastic! I shall be making them for reunions and get togethers from now on.. Missed out on the brownies cause it was too darn wet and we went on home...Great to see everyone there and can't wait till next year cause we will be at the  Pigroast..

[Compensation]

After trying yours I now have some waiting in the kitchen. I wonder what they would taste like chopped up in grits....

[sawguy21]

 :-\

shouldn't make  them any worse  :D ;D 8) 8) 8)

[Jeff]

You mean the grits, right? ;)

[WDH]

Oh, the injustice of it all  . 

[Magicman]

I ain't talking and I also ain't messing up my Grits.

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

I also ain't messing up my Grits.

I agree.  :D

[Tam-i-am]

I bet putting those deliciously sweet koolickles in grits would be a sweet breakfast treat!

[coxy]

umm

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

I bet putting those deliciously sweet koolickles in grits would be a sweet breakfast treat!

You go first.  ;D

[thecfarm]

I won't go at all.  ;D
