Zbube, H and I used to have a garden and we'd make pickles. Surprisingly this was an activity my H immensely enjoyed. Normally he's not much for kitchen activities of any kind. He loved the process of making the pickles and curing them in the basement, etc. And WOW were they good. I don't care for commercial pickles of any kind, really, because the homemade ones are so delectable as to make the store bought ones not worth it.
So when I'm speaking of relishing the hot dog, I'm talking about relish made from homemade pickles made from homegrown cukes. Fresh, made in my own kitchen and made with loooove. Ahh, it doesn't get any better than that.
