Good Eats S11E8 Dill-icious (2/2)

[mmr11027]

I think the ice cream guy is better known as the dungeon guy.

[992kirky]

I love garlic dill pickles! I make 30 jars every summer. They normally last me till the fall as I eat pickles everyday!

[degen83]

Am I the only one who laughed out loud when the Kool Aid guy burst through that wall? :D

Hilarious.

[LinetteKTang]

that pickle's real destiny is to go into my stomach xD

[Magicman21123]

Any tips on what I can replace buttermilk with? (most of my family is lactose intolerant.)

[zhanus]

@Magicman21123 I'm pretty sure you don't have to. I believe that buttermilk is similar to yogurt in that it is lactose-free despite being a dairy product.

[svampyr]

My favourite dip for fried pickles is Ranch. Mmmm. Good stuff!

[wholtone]

Alton has a secret wine cellar? Sweet!

[f1471in3r]

Fried pickles are damn popular here in the south....try them and you'll find out why.

They are usually sreved with a dipping sauce of some sort & go GREAT with with pale-ales!

[pinoypower247]

i want pickles now LOL

[ironchefmitty]

Koolikles are legitimately good. Sweet and sour are a mighty good flavor combination.

[idiotsloveboxes]

With fried pickles: chips > spears.

[MikeTMerciless]

He's not kidding about how sour these pickles can get, and I love it that way. I left mine to ferment for almost six weeks. Since then I never buy pickles from the store.

[Bunnies4wool]

Wow that looks good. One of my fav. treats when I go to Cinncinnati is fried pickled (Hungarian?) peppers. Wonder if I could use the same frying method for those. I guess you'd have to taste those cherry flavored ones but it isn't striking a chord with me.

[livetolovesome1]

feel sorry for the lawers lol.

[imsljr420]

hey those kids aren't even eating their kool-ickles

[darkAngelLuna]

omg, the koolaid guy.. lmfao

[Crich775]

Him, fried pickles+koolickles=fried koolickles?

[MoyraAngel]

@Crich775 Hmm. wonder if that would be along the lines of fried Twinkies and Snickers? :D

[whitenegro88]

is alton libertarian?

[sethlaflamme]

Oh, god, I am a huge fan, but in the name of all that's good and right in the world, why, why, why the kool aid pickles?  (Shudder)

[Tokorai]

@sethlaflamme I made them. If you like sweet and sour sauce, they're actually really good.

[brianelam3]

oohhh yeeehhh

[liquidsugarz]

I have had fried pickles before, nothing special.

[hualni]

What would Elvis do? HA!!!

[crzykiltedepisco]

did any one else notice that he said fryer at 6:16 like he may have had a speech impediment?

[vaceviper]

I'm pretty sure he said, "Fry oil."

[GreggsPlace26]

@crzykiltedepisco He said fry oil

[Tokorai]

@crzykiltedepisco He did say fry oil, but more importantly, why would you call attention to something like that? It's very mean.

[FlameDarkfire]

Here in Kentucky, we call them frickled pickles.

[hoodedraider]

those koollickle's look disgusting :P

[fukinhip]

those koolaid pickles look so weird, its crazy

[Zephilindrum]

Those fried pickles look amazing.

[RainOnTheWindow]

They do. I wish I had pickles so I could try this.

[MightyMax7]

Ah, Alton Brown. You're the Bill Nye the Science Guy of food...

[Fernzero]

Indeed, I think that is why he is so loved :D

[MoyraAngel]

@MightyMax7 Actually, Mr. Wizard is more appropriate if you are old enough to remember him. AB's Inspiration is Mr. Wizard, Monty Python, and Julia Childs.

[Zaekk]

Was that a Tolkien reference at the end?

[NoirMusic]

where?

[Zaekk]

At the end.

[somniamagus]

Where?

[Zaekk]

AT THE END BLARRG. "We really should..." and onwards until the end it starts at 10:32.

[xFireHeavenx]

Who?

[Zaekk]

HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I'll kill you.

[xFireHeavenx]

XP. Couldn't resist.

[Zaekk]

I did laugh pretty damn hard when I read it though.

[chemgirlie]

That totally reminded me of the Dane Cook Kool-Aide monologue.

[winbutlerisgod]

Perhaps Dane Cook stole it. He tends to do that.

[knowsfords]

remote control oil cabinet XD

[Peanutty62]

I wonder if the Koolickle recipe is the one from The River Run.

[YustynaK]

I love pickles, my friend and I are pickle buddies, and nothing is stronger than pickle power

[momobear101]

Quander is an awesome word!

[flamekeepr]

XD Fried pickles and kool-ickles. What a combination. THis show is cool. I want to try both!

[tyrelroo]

@flamekeepr Fried pickles are *awesome*. It sounds completely wrong when you first hear of it, but it actually works very well, especially if you've got ranch for dipping :9

[lemondragon18]

@flamekeepr run from Kool-ickles. they suck. they have ick in there name for god sakes!!

[jameister12345]

alton got the koolickle idea while filming his other show, feasting on asphalt

[SunnySideUp1518]

The Kool-ickle recipe was discovered on his other show!! I don't remember the name, but the travel/motorcycle show!

[x3islove]

cool! i've never heard of fried pickles!!

[satindesire]

They're really popular grub in the midwest. Lots of restaurants have them around here.

[Eggness]

DAMN YOU ITCHY AND TWITCHY!

[Max300frk]

I want sum kool-aid now. T_T

[simplyridiculous]

There was a Jones Soda in his fridge! :)

[poker720]

lol kool aid refrence LOL!

[csmars]

omg, fried pickles!!! so good!!! i wish more places served it... yum!

[oldsoulyoungbody]

that crock isnt a unitasker, you could always use a clean flowerpot, or that crock can be used to make umm..a giant popover

[Satashi26]

Crocks like that can be used to do many things. All sorts of fermentation, as shown, or holding devices for things that need to be kept the same temperature. Not to mention different styles of pickles. The only two uni-taskers AB uses is the fire extinguisher and the julep strainer from the cocktail episode (small sets of spaghetti XD! )

[YustynaK]

A small pasta snack. Lol i love the 'mini pasta strainer'

[epistte]

Khadgar, thanks for posting the good eats episodes. I love to use them to teach friends how to cook. I watched the very first episode and have never missed a single one. Alton Broiwn/Shirley Corrhier for president. Food geeks unite.

[OTEP1234567891011]

i'd elect him

[GreenManalichi]

For me...dill pickles are my last choice. I love the sweet gherkins and the bread and butter pickles

[wdchome]

Is it just me or is the pickle crock a unitasker?

[canipokeu]

You could use it as a hat or a jar or a pitcher for KOOL-AID. You could even use it to mug someone :D.

[DinoMartini]

At my local fair they had those kool-aid pickles and they are pretty darn good. Kinda weird at first. Who would have thought pickles and kool-aid would go well together.

[canipokeu]

not me...

[starian1234]

Agreed, I was kinda nervous to try one but I was pleasantly surprised, I made a batch of them when I got home! They are great!

[mauserman3]

Lock up the lawyers!!

[Gameslave7]

Hmmmm i dunno about those Kool-Aid pickles. Seems a little strange to me. Gonna have to try that one out.

[FiSHareFRiENDSnotFUD]

kewl aid pickles :D

[DanielAnchondo]

its hilarious to me that they have laws that prevent them from saying kool aid lol

[wdchome]

It's not the laws, it's Food Network. They're afraid that their sponsors might get upset if, say, they were competitors of Kool-Aid, since the show itself was promoting it.

[AnruiK]

Oh man, I remember when he first tried that last pickle on Feasting on Asphault, season 2.

[MoyraAngel]

And I have been wanting to figure out how to make them since I saw that episode also!

[Supnitle]

OH YEEEEAH
