I’m obsessed with pickled vegetables. The Armenian name for this spicy relish is Toorshi – pronounced like the English words, tour and she, combined. It consists of spicy, salty, cauliflower, carrots, celery, cucumber, and red and yellow peppers.

So far this week I’ve consumed one and a half jars of the stuff. My stomach lining is a tad pissed off, but my tastebuds are burning and happy. Am I turning Korean? …Now those people appreciate all things pickled.

You know what else the pickles make me think of… Dane Cook. If you haven’t heard his hilarious drive-thru routine, I suggest you head to his web site and listen to it for yourself… it’s a laugh riot.

I think I’m gonna buy some veggies and jar my own pickles, because that’s really the only way to get ‘em spicy enough for my liking. I’ve done canning before, but only jellies, so this should be fun.
