    @canadjineh Does it work with any pickle juice? Gherkins, silver onions, onions?

    I do happen to really love pickled garlic too. Pickled garlic with olives as a side or a snack tastes just amazing!

    Yep, works with any pickle juice that you like. My mom used to do this when we were little, I grew up with pickled eggs, lol. In my opinion the stronger, more sour as opposed to sweet pickle juice tastes best with the eggs, but that may be just me. I always loved the larger English style ploughman's lunch pickled onions but I can't do malt vinegar once I realized I was Celiac. I sub ACV & white mixed (since ACV is so expensive).

    When you buy some wild rice at the store because you *thought* you read something about it being a good low carb food. When you get home you drop the package reading the insanely high carb content in 1/4 cup. It gets put in the food donation bag for the city food drive. Some people do need a lot of carbs that has some protein in it too. I am not one of them.

    Thank goodness I bought cauliflower too so I can have that as my rice.

    How about when you only eat spinach when it has been sauteed in bacon fat?

    You come to parties pre-armed with iced coffee and cream because you know you aren't eating or drinking anything being offered.

    Yes! I am in and out a lot and rather than pack breakfast, lunch or snacks I travels with two travel mugs of BPC.

    Last night I forgot my mug and had more sweet things than I should have at a halloween party.... My should have being no treats. LOL

    Now I really want to try out pickled eggs.... I love pickles and I love eggs, so surely that will be an awesome combination right?

    Maybe homemade will be better, but I've had storebought ones and wasn't a fan (and I am a FIEND for vinegar in general). The texture of the egg became kinda crumbly and was hella weird.

    When you order a big mac for lunch while out shopping but forget to ask for a fork, so you eat the burger out of the bun bite by bite like a duck eating bread. This was me Sunday.

    I get McDouble's without the bun, and they always put them in salad containers. At the drivethru I try to tell them they can put them in the same container, but usually they still come in separate ones and I feel bad for wasting the plastic. :-/

    When you eat ALL the crackling off the roast pork yourself and don't feel bad about it. Yum, I reckon I could eat it everyday.

    Someone said they have found it at Target, Sprouts, and Walmart, @cstehansen, but I haven't independently confirmed. Still looking myself.

    Edited to add - most of these places have a thing where you can order online and have it shipped to a local store ... worth checking out if they have it, just not where you are...

    Meh, not carried within 50 miles of me, sadly. Glad you found it though!

    I keep buying the fresh stuff at Costco but the two of us, just can't eat it before it goes bad. Being fresh and precut the life span is very short. I will check my Sprouts to see if they have it frozen. We do love the cauliflower pizza crust and it is a regular thing on our meal rotations now.
