This isn't a recipe it's a cult

Ingredients
Original recipe yields 128 servings

Ingredient Checklist

10 pounds cucumbers with peel - ends trimmed, halved, seeded, and cut into chunks

2 cups pickling salt

16 cups water

16 cups water

1 ½ teaspoons alum

16 cups water

16 cups water

12 cups white sugar

2 tablespoons pickling spice

6 cups white vinegar

1 tablespoon green food coloring

16 cups water

8 eaches 1-quart canning jars with lids and rings

Directions:

Step 1
Day 1: Place the cucumbers into a large (10-quart) jar or pickle crock. Stir the pickling salt and 16 cups of water (or as needed to cover the cucumbers) into a large pot, and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the salt is dissolved. Pour the boiling salt mixture over the cucumbers, and cover the crock with a cover or dinner plate.

Step 2
Days 2 and 3: Stir the pickles and brine once each day. Cover the crock each time.

Step 3
Day 4: Pour off the brine. Bring 16 more cups of water to a boil, and pour the boiling water over the pickles. Cover.

Step 4
Day 5: Pour off the water from the pickles again, and bring alum and 16 cups of water to a boil. Stir until the alum is completely dissolved. Pour the boiling water-alum mixture over the pickles. Cover.

Step 5
Day 6: In a large pot, boil 16 more cups of water with the sugar, pickling spice, vinegar, and food coloring. Pour the water-alum mixture from the pickles and discard, and pour the boiling sugar mixture over the pickles. Cover.

Step 6
Day 7: Pour off the syrup from the pickles, but retain the syrup. Transfer the syrup into a large pot, bring to a boil again, and pour over the pickles. Cover.

Step 7
Day 8: Pour off and retain the syrup again, and transfer into a large pot. Reboil the syrup over medium heat. Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the pickles into the hot, sterilized jars, and pour the boiling syrup in, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.

Step 8
Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 minutes.

Step 9
Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

One of my favourite dishes is fried rice made with salted fish and shredded lettuce. The texture just works better with the rice than cabbage would.

Google brings up recipes for icicle and iceberg pickles and they all sound awful and take multiple days to make with numerous boilings and strainings and food coloring and 1/2 cup of sugar per cucumber.
I don't know if "iceberg" or "icicle" is the same as "icebox," but this recipe is similar (ingredient-wise) to the one my grandma used for icebox pickles. Hers was much more a set-it-and-forget-it deal, though. This? This is nonsense.

Iceberg lettuce is a goddamn plague, as is every other crunchy or stem heavy green.

Soft, green, and leafy is the way to go for that sort of thing.

This is a recipe for homeopathic pickles. Each day the pickles are reduced by a factor of 2^16, but after five days the essence of pickleness is intact. Science!

I just ate a piece of iceberg just to double check my memory and no, it's still a terrible green that retains too much water and has negligible flavor. It can only improve things with its exclusion.

When I was about 7 or so I used to love to get a whole head of chilled iceberg lettuce and just eat it leaf by leaf for the crunch.

Now the times I buy lettuce I get some fancy red or green leaf or butter lettuce because it has actual substance and possible nutrients over just crunch factor. But I still think about being small and the luxury of eating an entire cold head of what was essentially chilled, crunchy water.

The worst thing about ordering salads is cheddar. I loving hate it in salads because I prefer olive oil and vinegar or italian or greek dressing and let me tell you that shredded cheddar cheese does not loving work with anything but ranch. I try to only get greek salads but sometimes that loving cheddar sneaks in there.

Grilled romaine lettuce is fantastic. There was a brief fad for it in restaurants near me, usually in a Caesar salad, and I was sad when that went away.

I don't know what's up with this video specifically, which won't play on my desktop either, but in a broader sense, the "-mobile" part of the link breaks the embedder on the android Awful app and doesn't actually do anything for the size on desktop. If you remove the "-mobile" part of such links in the future they should work for everybody. The reason this only happens in LSD's posts, is because they seem to be pretty much the only one in PYF posting these specific type of links.

The magnum dong size of the videos on desktop is a thing that's not fixable on the poster's end, sadly.

OK I want to know how and why "blue raspberry" has become the #1 most common default artificial flavor in the candy universe

What the hell chemical is used to create it and what company has managed to obtain a production monopoly protected by a legislative loophole or whatever I assume is going on

Icee was worried people would confuse their cherry flavor with the raspberry flavor so they used blue dye for their raspberry.

i think the idea is that there are too many red fruits. you have cherry, strawberry, watermelon, raspberry f'instance. different shades of red were used for each fruit. red dye #2 was what you would use for raspberry but that got banned in the usa. some smart guy said we have this blue dye lying around and uh technically there is a "blue" raspberry (it doesn't look blue) so let's just make the raspberry flavor blue.

red dye #2 aka amaranth


FD&C Blue #1 "blue raspberry"


no one can "own" dyes, you can't patent a color.

OK no look I'm not saying "why is it blue"

I'm saying, why has it become so friggin popular?

If there is one flavor available, it will be blue raspberry.

If there are two flavors available, they will be blue raspberry and watermelon.

Three flavors? Blue raspberry, watermelon, and green apple.


Yeah :bahgawd: kids these days but I'd thought we had all settled on Skittles flavors like lemon/lime/cherry/strawberry/grape as being the central pillars. Is this really the market speaking or is there something weirder going on.
