Does the pickle have a place in modern society?

Don't let the topic fool you, I find pickles to be tastefully exotic in small quantities. But the question remains: Do they serve an actual purpose?

Most often you will find a pickle served with a sandwhich from a resteraunt. Where this tradition started and why, I do not know. I think we can all agree the pickle in no way compliments said sandwich. Furthermore, aside from relish, I can't think of any recipes which require a pickle.

Perhaps pickels are just misunderstood, like so many others things in this crazy world of ours. If they were to disappear tomorrow, would anyone notice?

I'd like pickles more if they were more spicy.

I don't really understand them myself. My dad used to make jars of them when we were little but my brothers would eat them before they were "done."

In any case, the porn industry has found them to be a creative renewable resource. Perhaps you should point your question towards them?

You clearly have never had the hot turkey sandwich from BruinCafe. Eating a nibble of pickle along with your bite of sandwich is basically heaven. Other delicious things involving pickle:

Thousand Island Dressing

I can't think of others at the moment, but pickle-sandwich, under the right circumstances, can be amazing.

we use pickles on like 75% at carls jr and hardly ever do people request one without it, mostly people don't want onion

The pickle is rather irrelevant due to advances in preservation technologies.

However:

It can be a snack, or on a snack!

In Canada we have "Dill Pickle" flavour potato chips!

and the pickle, in all its green bumpy glory, is the tastiest of pickled tasties.

down with pickle haters!
