Thanks to our new friend Matthew Rowley, we have learned that it is now possible to not only Not Drink the Koolaid — you can now Not EAT the Koolaid as well! Yep, turns out the crazy folks in the South have found a new way to consume the beloved elixir by super-soaking pickles with it.Before you yack, consider this: if the Del Mar Fair can serve one up batter fried and on a stick, then why is a cherry flavored pickle so hideous sounding? This is why I love America — such culinary ingenuity!

FYI check out Matthew’s cool blog called Rowley’s Whiskey Forge. He’s got a wicked cocktail vibe going.
