Pickle Quotes

Playful and practical lines built around the humble pickle.

These pickle quotes swing between the literal and the metaphorical, starting with a cook's note on pickling ramps and pearl onions in season. From there the page moves to lighter takes, including the old line that hunger works as the best seasoning of all.

When ramps are in season, we pickle a bunch of ramps and fold that into soup. Pickled pearl onions are great chopped up or pureed.
