This being the food and drink thread I insist that you elaborate on pickle and peanut butter sandwiches. What kind of bread, pickles, and peanut butter do you recommend?I've pickled shallots recently and have been using them to replace pickles in my peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. Don't diss it till you try it.
Since I was a kid I just had a regular pickle (Kosher, dill etc.) with chunky Adams brand peanut butter on whole wheat bread. Both slices are coated in peanut butter and then the pickles are sliced into impromptu coins and laid between the slices.This being the food and drink thread I insist that you elaborate on pickle and peanut butter sandwiches.

I've never heard of that but it looks tasty.
Pickled garlic is the bomb! That and some pickled eggs, beers, and maybe some type of summer sausage is an awesome snackSince I was a kid I just had a regular pickle (Kosher, dill etc.) with chunky Adams brand peanut butter on whole wheat bread.

When I started culinary school last year I had difficulty finding whole pickles at the nearest grocery store so I dabbled with hamburger pickle chips. They're extra salty which pairs well with the peanut butter.
On my first day of class one of my classmate mentioned the he eats peanut butter and mustard sandwiches, which I tried and they taste good but doesn't have enough crunch to it. So I tried a garlic dill pickle with Dijon mustard and the crunchy peanut butter on whole wheat and that was pretty good. I even went a step further and tried adding a couple slices of cheddar cheese, but while they didn't ruin the sandwich, they also didn't add anything to the flavor.
I've only recently learned how to pickle vegetables and my first experiment was with a sweet pickled red onion recipe. When added to the peanut butter the red onions basically tasted like regular jelly. Pickled shallots are still sweet, but less so than the red onions, which works well on the sandwiches.
The only problem I have is getting the shallot slices out of the jar without dragging a bunch of pickling spices with them. Those pieces of allspice are a little too hard to bite into.
Today I bought a bunch of cucumbers, zucchinis, onions, jalapenos and bell peppers with the intention of pickling them and adding them to my sandwiches. I'm also thinking about throwing in some yellow bell pepper ketchup into the mix. I'll let everyone know in a few days how it turns out.
You can pickle pretty much anything!Pickled garlic is the bomb! That and some pickled eggs, beers, and maybe some type of summer sausage is an awesome snack
Having spent an unforgettable afternoon working in the evidence preservation room of a morgue, I can confirm that this is unfortunately true.You can pickle pretty much anything!
I've been on a smoked salmon kick lately. I tried smoked salmon & scrambled eggs for the first time this morning and it was amazing. If anyone has simple dishes with smoked salmon to share lay them on me.
Funny you said that because just this morning the wife made me an Egg McMuffin with smoked salmon instead of Canadian bacon and it was delicious!My nickname for smoked salmon is "bacon of the sea"

I've got to go collect a prescription from a chemist just down from a M&S - which just happens to stock Hollandaise sauce. I am now officially tempted.Man, I could really go for some Eggs Royale right now.
Add Hollandaise and you get Eggs Royale. Traditionally made with poached eggs on a muffin with smoked salmon and Hollandaise. IIRC it's called Eggs Benedict with Ham or Eggs Florentine with spinach instead of the salmon.Funny you said that because just this morning the wife made me an Egg McMuffin with smoked salmon instead of Canadian bacon and it was delicious!

Reese brand makes a pretty solid jarred hollandaise. Just sayin’.To be perfectly honest I never use hollandaise; lazy bum that I am, I just add a dab of mayo and I’m good.

Because I am a huge nerd I went on a deep dive working out the food and clothing for the greatest city of my campaign world. The city has a strong Hellenic influence and is a massive seaside port to boot. Garum was one of the first things I said, "This must be a staple in my campaign world"I got a new food project:

Dude that is brutal. Developing allergies in adulthood majorly sucks. The cat is my spirit animal but I became allergic to them in my late 30's.Growing up in the Seattle area, Alder-smoked salmon was our go-to food for really special occasions. Unfortunately, I developed a fish allergy as an adult .
Smoked Salmon for us is used mostly with Rice Balls or Bagels and LoxI've been on a smoked salmon kick lately. I tried smoked salmon & scrambled eggs for the first time this morning and it was amazing. If anyone has simple dishes with smoked salmon to share lay them on me.
