Now before you reject this one out of hand, just hear (read?) me out.
When I was about 10 years old, I was at Granny O.'s house, and she was making a sandwich.
She said, "Here. Eat this."
I asked, "What is it?"
"A peanut butter and dill pickle sandwich."
Of course, in my head I was like, "Ew, gross!" But it was my grandma, after all, so I took a bite. And then another. And another! Turns out it was actually really good!
However, it appears that I am the only one in my family to ever take the plunge. Hallie won't try it, and Riley wouldn't when I offered him one when he lived with us. Just to prove that my granny and I are not the only ones to appreciate this unique culinary delight, I looked for the combination online. Here are a few links from others who have tried and enjoyed a PBDP:
PB and Pickle Sandwiches are Divine: About this tasty sandwich tallman8866 explained, "Much like salty and sweet together is quite tastey (such as kettle corn, honey glazed ham, or really good melons with salt) so PB&P stimulates the salty and sour sensations simultaneously."

Here's how you make a really good PB & dill pickle sandwich, courtesy of Patrick Clare:

Getting back to that great Dr. Suess tale, this is Sam-I-am talking to all you tall yellow frowny-faced folks in the stovepipe hats out there: "You do not like them [PB & DP]. So you say. Try them! Try them! And you may. Try them and you may, I say." You may find yourself liking PB and dill pickle sandwiches, too!
