I’ve always had a curiosity of things in general and food creation was one of those curiosities. I would always try different seasonings to enhance the flavor of the foods I enjoy, especially if I considered them bland and the creation Larry’s seasoned pickles were no different. One day while home watching a movie , I found myself going back and forth into the kitchen eating different snacks from fruits to popcorn and then I decided to get a few pickles. After returning to the movie and taking a bite of the pickles, I wasn’t satisfied due to the bland taste and wanted to wake up the flavor a bit, so I returned to the kitchen and grabbed a few different items in my attempt to add some flavor. After returning to my seat, I took a bite of the pickles and was amazed at how flavorful and delicious they were.
