The Food Challenge: Pickles and Sprinkles

BananaEasy's culinary skillz are about to become the stuff of legend.—Sparkitors

I am embarking on a journey. A journey of faith. A journey of courage. A journey of odd supermarket purchases and horrible breath. This. Is. The. Food. Challenge. *cue dramatic music* In this post, I'm going to destroy everything you thought you knew about food. I'm going to push your taste buds to their limits. I'm going to use words like "week-old tuna sandwich" and "stale marshmallows" in the same sentence. It's going to be AWESOME.

First up on my list of culinary combinations to create and try: sprinkles, pickles, and oregano.

To start things off, I found thepickles. They are...green. Now, I don't have anything against pickles, but they can get...briny. Sometimes they give me the shivers. There's something evil about them. They can read my mind. Inception, anyone?

On to the sprinkles. Let me sets the record straight: I love sprinkles. Love them. If I had a choice, I wouldn't swim in money, I would swim in sprinkles. That way I wouldn't get paper cuts. Sprinkles are just pure bliss. But sprinkles on top of pure green evil? I'm not so sure. I’m hopeful that the good and bad will balance each other out. *Crosses fingers*

Next, I put the oregano on. Oregano's ok, I guess. Kind of like Dora’s map. It was funny the first time, but now it’s just annoying.

Now, for the finale—but how am I supposed to eat my floppy disk of edible madness? A fork? My hands? My freakishly large front teeth? Man, I could really use an instruction manual. The more I stare at this, the soggier it gets, and the more it begins to resemble Voldemort's face. Not a good sign.

But...I tried it. It was...not that bad. It mostly just tasted like sugar on an old cucumber. Yum?  I couldn't really taste the oregano, but that's the way oregano is meant to be: present, but easily ignored. It sits there on your overpriced pizza, begging to be noticed. It's like those Christmas lights that are still up in August. They're just sad.

Rating: 6.5. It was surprisingly good, but also surprisingly terrible.

Are you brave enough to try it yourself? We definitely, definitely aren't.
