Grubby— Good guess!—but no. The answer is more worthy of a groan.

(More hints will be given with more guesses.)

I was also going to guess cucumber. Have you already told me this joke?

Craig Brandenburg said...

Laura— Nope, the answer's still not cucumber.

Here's another hint: the second letter is an ‘I’.

Here's another hint. The last letter is an ‘A’

Craig Brandenburg said...

Still no.

New hint:

_ I _ _ E _ _ A

I give up!

Hmmmm...I was thinking "Chik-fil-A" but your hints eliminate it....

Craig Brandenburg said...

Everyone but Laura— I just told Laura the answer, and she doesn't think it's that funny. But I'm leaving this riddle open to anyone who still wants to guess.

Craig Brandenburg said...

Bobby et al.— Yes, you can get pickles at Chik-fil-A, but those aren't the kinds of pickles this riddle is about.

Or is it?

_ I _ _ E M _ A
