So, if I’m a ‘fan’ of anyone, it’s Alton Brown – his cooking show, Good Eats, is in a breed of its own with explanations and true education behind every episode. One of my favorite things Alton has put together are his Shun knife videos… give them a quick watch – you won’t regret it.

(The best one can only be viewed on the Shun web site, here – click “School for Knives”. The flash page is a little finicky, so you may have to hit ‘Refresh’ once to get the menu on the left to populate. Seriously, go to that link, it’s well worth your time – you’ll really appreciate it. No, seriously, stop reading, go here and watch “School for Knives”.)

Ok, you back? Anyways, I was watching ‘Feasting on Asphalt’, a series where Alton rides a motorcycle cross country and feasts on the local fare. While in the Mississippi Delta, he happened upon an oddity that they coined ‘Coolickles’: Pickles that have been brined with CoolAid.

Out of morbid curiosity, I thought I’d try it out:

I wouldn’t call them gross, I’d just call them different!
