Ive noticed both she and Chantal do this but I NEVER see them eating something without just a bigass jar of pickles. No matter what it is, whether or not pickles go with it, theyre just chowing down on pickles. Is that weird to anyone else? I know typically restaurants will use pickles as like a complimentary flavor and the acid kind of cuts fat and pairs well with fatty foods and makes them less "heavy", but I dont imagine they taste or even care about the quality of the food or any gustatory experience shit. Chantal goes beyond pickles to just any pickled vegetables, and yeah something like pickled dill beans are good but, she just goes hog on them.
Now that I think of it my (dad bod) dad used to tell me "a pickle after a meal will help you feel less full and bloated--and I dont think that's true, dad was kind of full of shit all the time, I dont know where he got it or why he used to occasionally tell me that, but Im just noticing her pickle alongside her "lean and green" meal and wondering what the fuck is up with that?
Especially since she's blaming noodles for "sodium caused weight gain from water retention". Im confused as to why they both eat pickles with everything, pickles are brined so theyre full of sodium, plus they refuse to not have processed or takeout/restaurant food. Does anybody else eat pickles that often and in those quantities?
