How many pickle slices can you eat before you feel sick?

How many pickle slices can you eat in one sitting? Have you ever eaten just pickles for lunch, like a pickle sandwich with mayo and sliced tomatos? Was it any good? I love pickle slices and pickle relish. For me, a meal is not complete without something from the pickle family displayed prominently on my plate. And whether pickles are adorning hotdogs or hamburgers or lovingly folded into tuna salad, a pickle of any variety is always welcome at my dinner table. Maybe it's a Southern thing! Most times, I eat pickle slices when I'm really hungry and want something crunchy. They're much healthier than regular snack foods. And, they're practically calorie free. But, I draw the line at ten pickle slices. The pickle slices start to put my teeth on edge after that. What are your favorite pickle based dishes?

I can eat half of one of those pickles in a jar, the whole ones only though. And I can eat sweet relish. That's it. When I was little I'm told that I used to always get those huge pickles from the counter jar at the deli and eat the whole thing like it was candy. These days... I'd so rather have the candy, lol.

I rarely eat pickles. When I do eat pickles I like to get the Claussen's ones. I think they are the best pickles. My favorite are the mini ones. I will only eat 1 mini pickle at a time.

Just the look of pickles can make me feel sick. xD I've never tried pickles, but I find the way they look and smell very unappetizing.

Wow! I"ve never met someone who has never had pickles, before. They're awesome! Very tangy. Great on hamburgers or soy burgers. And, pickle relish is even better, super sweet stuff. But, then again, I didn't start liking pickles until after I had my baby. So, maybe it's a hormonal thing. Who knows! Be well. Thanks for sharing. (p.s. I checked out your myspace profile and shop, awesome shirts!)

Now vaslic is the best pickles you can get on the market right now; they have sliced pickles just for sandwiches which are the boom. I like sour dill the whole pickles. I don't over eat them though; even if i could i would eat so many that i can feel sick. Like them in potato salad and chicken and tuna salad but i don't over due it. But you can get carried way eating them though.

I'm a big pickle head... Grilled Pickled Sandwiches (with mustard & swiss) are awesome! So far I have not gotten sick from eating too many pickles. Usually my boyfriend busts my chops because he'll buy a jar of pickles to accent dinner the night before... and by the time he comes home to make dinner, he's ask: "sweetie, did you eat the jar of pickles again?" My favorite type of pickles are the sandwich pickle slices and gekkens (baby pickles). I can sit down and just eat them non-stop, especially watching TV. Hey, it's better than eating junk food! I sometimes drink the juice afterwards (I find it helps me lose a few pounds) So go ahead, indulge!

Just one will do it. I really can't stand pickles or cucumbers and if I happen to eat any by mistake, which hardly ever happens, I will do almost anything to get the taste out of my mouth.
