It's no joke. Several months ago, Alan King, the legendary Borscht Belt comic, was eating a corned beef sandwich at a Boca Raton, Fla., deli when he became smitten with the pickles on the table. After extensive recipe testing, Alan King's Perfect Pickle is currently available in kosher stores and supermarkets in New York and Florida.
Plans are in the works to sell the pickles nationwide.
Packed in jars that resemble pickle barrels, the pickles come in six varieties. You'll feel better. I have been autographing bottles of pickles by the thousands and having the time of my life doing it. In fact, King has such a following from 50 years in show business that people are literally lining up to try his pickles. Future pickle events in key markets are expected in the fall, after King finishes his stand-up dates around the country.
