Pickles kill bacteria
Comment: I was told recently that the reason places like Panera Bread
serve a dill pickle with their sandwiches is if eaten after the sandwich it will kill any bacteria that was ingested with the sandwich. Any truth behind this?

Funny, I thought people served pickles with deli sandwiches because they taste good together. Damn, even my pickles now have an ulterior motive!

I doubt it, since by eating a pickle you are ingesting lactic acid bacteria.

The process of pickling does protect foods from bad microbes though, right? Besides, not all bacteriums are bad, some are your friends. Especially the ones you need in order to digest, and the ones that keep more dangerous diseases away. Bacteria can be your friends. Don't be hating on them now!

Hmmm...wonder if these two are connected?
I posted in the "Pickle juice is deadly" http://message.snopes.com/showthread.php?t=428 thread that when I was a kid old folks always told us pickles and pickle juice were good for you when you had a stomach bug. Wonder if this is just a continuation of that old wives tale.

I read yesterday that Linné (why do you keep calling him Linnaeus?
) was of the opinion that pickled cauliflower helped you tolerate alcohol better.
