This is me entering my pickle
entry.
The menu is:
Soup and sandwich special.
Polish pickle soup,
Toasted Rubin sandwich with non-fried pickle chips.
Desert included.
I bought a corned beef brisket (pickled meat) to make pastrami and soaked it for 2 days in water changing it out every eight hours or so to draw out the salt.
Then I spiced it up and let it sit for a while.

I got the temp on the Kamado to 275 or so and let it cook for about 4 hours with some oak chunks for smoke.

When you add the sour cream, flour and pickle juice you beat it in with a whisk and break up the potatoes and it becomes thick.
Lets get the pickle chips going. For the coating we need Panko, French Fried Onions, egg whites flour, Gallic powder, etc

My wife who is the confectioner of the family, proudly pronounced "Pickles?, I'm in!" and with that she found a pickle cupcake and a pickle ice cream recipe and added to the puckering possibilities.
Yes, dill pickle ice cream.

The soup was good, but I would cut the pickle juice in half if I ever make it again. Its like a German potato salad.
Well thanks for looking, we're puckered out...It was fun!
