Pickles on the edge by Alex Barth
Sour Mustard Pickles
Missed Connections in Maine
I saw you buying a jar of sour mustard pickles…
you know where.
They are so much more classy than bread-and-butter.
I’m willing to bet that you’re as classy as that jar of pickles.
Did you think I was classy?
Let me know.
Maybe we can eat some garlic sours sometime, you know,
just to live on the wild side.
NOTE FROM THE MISSED CONNECTIONS CHIEF BOTTLE FINDER:
“Classy as that jar of pickles,” huh? Interesting… I’ve never really thought of pickles that way. Crunchy, sour, zesty, flavorful, invigorating… all these descriptors immediately come to mind. Perhaps it’s because I haven’t come across that special someone in the condiment aisle of the supermarket?
