Pickle and Pearl

A very enjoyable, entertaining selection of the adventures of two onions! Our thanks go out to Walter, who has graciously volunteered to keep us up to date on these two. On this blog, the most recent post is at the top!

H.S.N. - Again?


How these old masters keep popping up? The Hysterical Society of Nottingham never ceases to amaze me in its diligent searches for previous instances of the appearances of Pickle and/or Pearl. This previous instance, a painting by Pieter de Hooch (I'm not making this up) called simply "Interior" is another example. I think the young person on the right of the picture, maybe a daughter or servant, has been forbidden to look at Pickle as being too salacious or lascivious (at my age, I have no idea what that means either). You, my dear readers, must admit that even if you get a big yawn from these quiet, domesticated travellers you are getting a free dose of "Culture". Here is another example of 'culture' -
LITTLE FLY upon the rug/ You must think that I'm a mug/ Even though the rug is shag/ I'll soon have you in the bag!
