Hot pickles are available pretty much everywhere in the south, but in Atlanta, they’re a favorite. With the Super Bowl being held in this southern locale this year, people looking to offer a taste of ATL to their guests on game day can look no further than this crunchy, salty classic app.
Taking pickles to the party food planet is as simple as breading and frying them, and the only thing tastier than a hot pickle is a deep fried one. For the cannabis and pickle enthusiast, adding some active ingredients to the mix is pretty simple, even if you just want the good stuff in the sauce. Having pickle options is as important as having cannabis choices.

There’s so many kinds of pickles in the world, but we’re with Atlanta residents, hot pickles are the best kind. Don’t worry, kosher dill pickles are still the old standby, but spicy pickles satiate in a way that you just need when you’re snacking. A little bit of heat changes things up, and goes so much better with the breading than basic pickles.
