I mentioned this to my step daughter last night (the pickle juice thing).
She has a degree in nutrition and has been doing her internship lately. Not
quite sure (embarrassingly) what her eventual job title will be. Registered
dietician or nutritionist? I'll ask tomorrow.

Anyway, she had never heard of the pickle juice thing but she guessed that
it's probably the vinegar in it.

If so, I guess pickle juice would be a little easier to drink than plain
vinegar. I'm not sure I'd want to marinate my chicken in it but I try to
keep an open mind until I actually try something. ie: whenever I try
someone's recipe, I'll always make it as stated the first time. After that,
I often make a few changes.
