When visiting Texas in 2010, I was introduced to fried pickle chips at a restaurant with Andrew's extended family. They were slices of pickles that had been fried and were served with a dipping sauce. He and his family wouldn't believe me that I hadn't even heard of such a food item, much less tried them. They were good! Of course, this is coming from a person who loves pickles.
What luck, I actually have a photograph of the pickle chips I tried:
Then, a few weeks ago, Pillsbury posted a link to a fried pickle spear recipe. I knew I had to try it, and so I pinned it to my Pinterest board:

Andrew was on board to help me with them, and so we breaded and fried the pickle spears and served them up with a side of ranch.

The fried spears were so good. They were also so filling. The serving size is supposed to be three, but I could barely eat two. I wanted to eat more because they were so delicious, but I couldn't. Andrew packed away four or five, and he got sick to his stomach. I was sad to hear him swear off fried pickles for the rest of his days. I like to think he doesn't mean it. I'll wait a few months and see about making them again. Until then, I'm counting the days!
