Dilly Beans!

You’ll rarely see any reference to the south’s beloved dilly beans (these are based on the old Ball blue book recipe) without an exclamation point nearby. People in the know love them that much. It’s true that they are worth getting loud and excited about. As spicy as you want them (add chile flakes, if you like them extra-hot), other dilly bean qualities include sourness, saltiness, and crispness. In short, the dilly bean is the perfect food.<
