I was walking past this 6th grade classroom, and the teacher's question caught my eye.
Pickles: Delicious or Gross?
I immediately thought about the pickle Doritos that a friend recently brought to my house. She had run to Walgreens to get juice boxes for our kids, and came back with a back of pickle flavored Doritos. GROSS, right?
I mean, it would have been rude not to try one. So, I reached into the bag and took a bite. A science experiment of sorts. She looked at me kind of strange, not sure what my reaction was going to be. At first, I must have made a face, because she said, "What do you think?"
"They taste like Cool Ranch Doritos, but they are a little sour."
Then I looked at the bag again. "CRUCH SOUR PUNCH" was written in big bold letters. I knew my assessment was fair. When my sister arrived, I told her to try one. Before I knew it, almost the whole bag was gone.
Gross? It turns out, not really.
Delicious? Not quite.
A little intriguing? You bet.
I'm not a big chip person, but I LOVE pickles. In fact there was a group of people in my childhood who called me/knicknamed me Pickles. Maybe I should pick some up next time I'm at the grocery store?!
ReplyDeletehmmm, pickle doritos. I feel like I'd not like, but like you, I'd prob eat the whole bag :)
ReplyDeleteI would try those! I've seen pickle flavored potato chips, but not Doritos.
ReplyDeleteA great description and close up of your taste sensations...I'm not a fan of pickles so I definitely wouldn't have tried one, but I loved what you wrote!
