The peanut butter and pickle phase vs. my new hot sauce honey combo
Tbh I used to be all about peanut butter on dill pickles, ate it every day for like 2 years back in Austin. Then last fall I got bored and tried hot sauce mixed with honey on a plain cracker, and now I can't stop putting that on everything from eggs to grilled cheese. It's weird because the pickle thing was salty and tangy, but this one is sweet with a burn that sneaks up on you. Which side are you on, do you stick with a proven weird combo or do you chase a new one when the old flavor stops hitting?
Oh man, I read somewhere that sweet plus heat hits the same brain spot as salty plus tangy, so your pickle phase and your honey hot sauce phase might be the same craving in different clothes. I'd say chase the new one, but keep the pickles in your back pocket for when the burn gets old.
