Just in Time for Valentines Day:  The Pickle Bouquet.  For Real.

“In a pickle,” wondering what to do, this Valentines Day?

Instead of chocolates, or (predictable) flowers, this year, show your love with a pickle.  It could be a big dill.

This year, you could actually get gherkins, make them beautifully displayed, and wrapped up in a bouquet…  unless it could come off as a bit jarring.  Nobody wants a sour puss!

The idea comes from Grillo’s Pickles, in Boston.  They say the briny treat is better than candy, more creative than flowers.  “We know there are a lot of pickle lovers out there, [who] would love nothing more, than to get a Valentine’s Day gift, [which is] loaded with their favorite snack,” reveals CEO Travis Grillo to TODAY Food.  Hard to keep a lid on such an unusual idea.

***While the company doesn’t actually sell these edible arrangements, they do offer tips on how to create your own.***
