I am one of those people who loves pickles. I can eat them any time, anywhere. But I know not everyone feels that way. My brother, for example, would have a fit as if he was going into anaphylactic shock even if he smelled a pickle.

But does anybody wonder what else that green briny liquid left in the jar could be used for?
