Andy is Mayberry's Sheriff and Justice of the Peace. Andy has a bumbling deputy named Barney Fife. Deputy Barney Fife is comically inept, a blowhard with delusions of grandeur, Barney fancies himself an expert on firearms, women, singing and just about any other topic of conversation brought up while he is around. Conversely, Andy knows that Barney's false bravado is a smokescreen for his insecurities, and low self-confidence. Pickles 3

Aunt Bee manages Andy's household and is Opie's surrogate mother and grandmother. Opie Taylor is the humorous son of Mayberry Sheriff Andy Taylor.

The Andy Griffith Show-The Pickle Story-Plot Summary Aunt Bee is a wonderful cook but she just can't seem to make a tasty pickle. She's at it again, though, putting up another batch for the boys, who have never had the heart to tell her they taste terrible. Rather than choke down any more of her "kerosene cucumbers", Andy, Barney, and Opie substitute good storebought pickles for her bad homemade ones. Having lost to Clara Johnson in the best pickles contest at the fair eleven years in a row, Bee thinks her latest batch is a winner and decides to enter. Knowing it would be unfair to the other contestants, especially Clara, for store-bought pickles to be entered, the boys must eat every one of the substitutes so Aunt Bee will have to make another batch of her own for the contest.

The Andy Griffith Show-The Pickle Story-Moral The moral of the story? Don’t lie or you may end up having to eat several quarts of really nasty pickles! (talk about leaving a bad taste in your mouth!) This is a good example of how the series could effortlessly switch from farce to touching drama; just watch how skillful the show is when Clara Edwards talks about the pride she takes in her pickle-making. Watch also for Griffith funny face when he sees Don Knotts' pained face when he catches his arm in the kitchen door. Pickles 6

Pickles - Facts Pickling began 4000 years ago using cucumbers native to India. This was used as a way to preserve food and vegetables for out-of-season use and for long journeys, especially by sea. Salt pork and salt beef were common staples for sailors before the days of steam engines. Although the process was invented to preserve foods and maintain health, pickles are also made and eaten because people enjoy the resulting flavors. Pickling may also improve the nutritional value of food by introducing B vitamins produced by bacteria. They have a higher concentration of vitamin C. They help you absorb iron. Raw, lacto-fermented vegetables (pickles) have good bacteria that inhibit the growth of harmful microbes in the intestines. Pickles have kept humans healthy for over 4000 years. Pickles 23
