Must-Have Ingredient!

Pork King Good Dill Pickle Seasoning

If you love dill pickles like we love dill pickles, this is seriously worth ordering. We also use it to make these tasty air-fried Dill Pickle Bagel Bites, and we highly recommend adding a sprinkle to tuna salad, hard-cooked eggs, fish fillets, and more. Try adding it to ground beef when you cook it up for a little burger-ific flair!



Lisa Loves It: Must-Order Condiment!

The Original Saucy Susan Peach Apricot Sauce

Lisa here! Like lots of East Coasters, I grew up with this delicious condiment in my fridge at all times, but it occurred to me that not everyone knows about it! The sauce is a lot like the duck sauce that you’d get at American Chinese restaurants, which I’m a huge fan of as well. I use this peachy apricot goodness on dumplings, with chicken, over fish… You can really use it anywhere you’d use sweet chili sauce—but I like this even more! It can be tricky to locate in stores, so ordering it from Amazon is a solid life hack.



Chew on this:

GASP. Today, November 14th, is National Pickle Day! (No joke, we didn’t even do this on purpose.) This feels like a sign. Maybe when you order your pickle seasoning, you should get these funny pickle socks too!
