Every year, Americans consume more than 20 billion pickles, but recently, consumers have noticed some restaurants warning of a "national pickle shortage."
The warnings from restaurants such as Firehouse Subs, local delis and others are generally bona fide, as both the U.S. Department of Agriculture and experts from North Carolina State University say that the combination of reliance on imports and extreme weather could impact supplies.
"There indeed has been a shortage in pickling cucumbers, and it has to do with reduced supply from Mexico," Jonathan Schultheis, a professor in horticultural science at N.C. State University, told FOX Weather. "In certain growing regions, it has been too hot (100 °F), which reduces yields. In other key production regions in Mexico, it has been too cold. The crop has not suffered from freezes but temperatures that do not promote pickling cucumber growth."
Annually, the U.S. imports over a million tons of fresh cucumbers, with around 75% coming from Mexico, but imports may be off by at least 7%, according to USDA estimates.

Wyatt sitting, good.

Nate to the IL, but we knew that was coming. Still doesn’t explain the lineup delay.
-
Our lineup almost always comes out 4 hours before a night game, so I’d bet we have an injury/transaction popping up shortly.

Has anyone watched this? Haven’t seen any mention elsewhere. Just watched episode 1, goddamn.
We’ll see how the rest goes.

The actress said she really liked ol’ boy’s risotto during the initial contest, then called it a great mac-&-cheese at judges’ table. Someone definitely got in her ear.
