If you're the kind of person who thinks a crunchy dill pickle makes the perfect snack, you might want to try the 'Pickle Split' from the Pine Mountain Country Coffee House in Missouri.
Just as the name suggests, the Pickle Split is a tangy take on the classic banana split. In other words, the dessert consists of two hefty pickle slices topped with three scoops of ice cream, whipped cream, chopped nuts, and maraschino cherries on top. The idea for the unusual dessert came about after someone dared the coffee shop's owner Deanna Farrar to try pickles with her ice cream and she thought it was actually a delicious combination.
With the release of pickle slushies, pickle beer, and pickle ice cream, it seems only natural that the Pickle Split would be a hit among consumers.
