Ms.Huxtable Posted May 9, 2002 Report Share Posted May 9, 2002 I was once advised that even dill pickle chips are vegetables. I went along with that. Sounds good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatPhish Posted May 9, 2002 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2002 do you think they retain their vitamin's being so soggy and sour. (I have not seen an adult since Tuesday...I think I am going loopy ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phakinit_thru Posted May 9, 2002 Report Share Posted May 9, 2002 Sure they do..much as anything does... But if it really is bothering you..do a search on Pickles /nutrients... I'm sure it's on the net.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatPhish Posted May 9, 2002 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2002 I have been doing searches I I can't seem to get a straight answer. O well I am giving the kids pickles for dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Boy 2.0 Posted May 10, 2002 Report Share Posted May 10, 2002 Even if they do have nutrients, I'm fairly sure they don't cover all the food groups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted May 10, 2002 Report Share Posted May 10, 2002 A quick Google search (for "pickle nutrition") reveals pickle nutrition and shows that there are some minerals and vitamins in pickles. I'm not sure of the %s of the RDA, but that's another Google search...Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSloth Posted May 10, 2002 Report Share Posted May 10, 2002 At the very least the kids will be getting more than enough of their daily recommended salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted May 10, 2002 Report Share Posted May 10, 2002 You could potentially have a balanced meal by ating dill pickle chips, and bbq chicken flavoured chips (any one of the meat flavoured ones will do).Nutrient potential increases by dipping your chips in softened cream cheese. I highly recommend drinking a litre of coca cola along with it to make sure your system is properly cleaned out.COKE - No wonder coke tastes so good:· In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident. · You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days. · To clean a toilet, pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china. · To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers, rub the bumper with a crumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola. · To clean corrosion from car battery terminals, pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion. · To loosen a rusted bolt, apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes. · To bake a moist ham, empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for sumptuous brown gravy. · To remove grease from clothes, empty a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield. FYI: · The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its Ph is 2.8 and it will dissolve a nail in about 4 days. · To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous Material placecards reserved for highly corrosive materials. · The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!

CyberHippie Posted May 10, 2002 Report Share Posted May 10, 2002 What I want to know is, what makes a pickle so god damned special that it actualy gets to be called a 'pickle'?What I mean is, we have pickled onions, pickeled eggs, pickeled peppers etc... Then we have pickeled cucumbers, which are just simply called pickles. Should we not be calling them pickeled cucumbers instead? I sense a little cucumber biasness here, and frankly I don't like it!Down with pickels, up with pickeled cucumbers!!Sorry, that was my $0.02. (I go off like that sometimes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms.Huxtable Posted May 10, 2002 Report Share Posted May 10, 2002 That Coke list was a riot! I have actually eaten a ham that was cooked in coke and OH MY GOD!!! It was damn tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
