Er...aren't those canned jalapeños pickled? Or are you simply saying that
you don't like pickled CUCUMBERS?

In general, I'm that way about pickled cucumbers, but there are some
exceptions. I think that pickles are an excellent accompaniment to barbecue
of all types, and it doesn't matter all that much to me what kind of pickle
it is: Could be pickled cucumbers, could be pickled peppers, could be
pickled watermelon rind, could be pickled okra, could be pickled
cauliflower...you get the idea. I think chopped picks are good in potato
salad. I like pickles on a Chicago-style hot dog. And I do like the pickles
on a Chick-Fil-A sandwich. But I don't like pickles with cold-cut
sandwiches, nor with fried chicken or fish. I don't really care for tartar
sauce, so whether it contains pickles or not ceases to be an issue for me.
