I used to love the little “Frito Bandito” erasers than came in the 6 pack of chips….telling my age…LOL. I am so with you on rice pudding and tapioca…..those are things that do not cross these lips. Never tried flan and don’t think I ever will. The peppers are delicious! The hubster doesn’t like them either so I have them all to myself!

I think it had to be an Italian thing since you, me and AnnMarie are all Italian and this item was in our households regularly. I'm sure my grandparents had them also, along with snails (which they used to eat regularly). Bless your heart! I will light a candle for you. ;-) My mother refused to make me try anything else after I threw up fried green tomatoes all over the table, so I was spared this pork trauma. I faintly recall my younger sister eating them with her. And I don't blame you one single bit for not wanting to eat anything else pickled. :-)Benitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712521705008463049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-37238540763829494482015-06-25T16:57:39.298-05:002015-06-25T16:57:39.298-05:00You do have some rather strange food habits, I mus...You do have some rather strange food habits, I must say!

I don't know why my Italian relatives all loved them. We used to get them from the Italian pork store up the road. I remember liking them as a kid (and you think you're a weirdo!), I outgrew that taste. Needless to say that today anything pickled is really not my favorite.

I’ve seen the pickled eggs that are in pink juice. I didn’t know that was beet juice…interesting! I’ve never had pickled peppers with any other color but green. I would suppose any color of the peppers could be used for pickling. AND it would be pretty in the jars! :-) I was so excited about the pickles!!! So, thank you!! :-) Have a great day and evening!

I always tell them to not ever try to prepare a meal I will eat. :-) Unless it is turnip greens and cornbread with some fresh onion, then they better have a bottomless pot!<br /><br />The only thing I can remember my mother ever pickling was bell peppers...and she still does. She tried pickles once and had to throw them out. So she kept it simple, as do I. :-) And my mother used to eat those pig's feet things also...I would have to go outside...LOL. I love that movie - it is one of my favorites!!!

I know it is an exciting project and can't wait to see it on your blog! You will like the pickled peppers if you like tart foods.

I do recall, in the recesses of my memory, eating pickled pigs feet when I was a kid. And I live in Upstate NY! I think it was an Italian thing. I also tried baby octopus, squid and frogs legs as a kid. Also an Italian thing I think. I was pretty naïve as a kid.....I say yuck now to the frogs legs and pigs feet. I do eat squid as calamari now.
