[Sca-cooks] Everyone gone already?

[Elaine Koogler]

I'm not sure of all of the particulars, but I believe the tradition had to
do with finding the pickle bringing good luck to the person who located it.
In later years, rather than using a real pickle, the pickle has been made of
blown glass.  I'm not sure which culture in Europe came up with the idea,
but I have seen pickle ornaments for sale....

This sounds a lot wierder (odder?) than the prize in the cake. I'm
wondering if I really want to know....But yes, Olwen, just what
are you talking about with this finding pickles in the christmas
tree?

I assume this is about a single pickled cucumber in a christmas tree
and you're not pickling christmas trees. :-) Although I guess that
would be an alternative to the plastic ones...
