If you don't know, Mt Olive Pickles come from a pretty red area of North Carolina.
Good on them.

I honestly think their pickles kind of suck, at least the dills aren't super great, but I will consider trying some other varieties, good job Mt Olive
I grew up eating their sweet relish in deviled eggs, I’m not going to say it’s irreplaceable but it’s definitely tasty.
I don't use much with relish these days but I'll give it a whirl if in the need, thanks :)
I usually use their roasted red peppers for shakshuka. They work pretty well for that.
Sounds tasty, I never made that myself I'll have to try! thank you :)
Definitely do. I mostly follow Alton Brown's recipe, but I use a jar of the Mt. Olive roasted red peppers instead of roasting my own as a time saver. I'll also usually do a 28 ounce can of crushed San Marzano tomatoes in puree instead of the beefsteak tomatoes. Both of these are because I usually make this as a weekend breakfast, and I can't be bothered to make those fresh first thing in the morning.
Also, Alton's recipe uses urfa biber pepper, but Aleppo pepper is more traditional. IIRC, Aleppo pepper was hard to come by when he published it during the Syrian civil war, but it's much more plentiful now.
The quick preserved lemons and the harissa can be made well in advance, and are also delicious in many other dishes. If you don't want to be bothered with the latter, Trader Joe's sells prepared harissa in a jar.
Their chopped jalapeños are very good but I agree that their pickles are mediocre
Oh! I usually make my own but I use a lot of those thanks :)
Could we just one time have some event in DC with MAGA people where a Confederate loser flag doesn't show up?
The venn diagram between the two groups is a circle, so probably not
Can't we just get rid of the MAGA people instead?
I'm sure they could be useful doing manual labor.
Nah, just deport them. Preferably somewhere off-planet.
That is so funny.
The corporate democrats have stopped pretending they are liberal.
And the Republicans have stopped pretending they aren't racist, and in favor of bringing back slavery.
Now if AIPAC will just admit they are part of the Mossad, the set will be complete.
