This week, on myths and legends, it's all about Mr and Mrs. Vinegar, whom I know you've heard of because they're a pretty big deal in the pickle industry.

You'll see why Pickle-jar house pickles are all the rage and also no longer in production.

Plus, we'll see why coming unhinged and taking your front door with you is perhaps the best home security

you'll ever not need.

Then on the Creature of the Week, it's a monster from when the world was young, tall,

feathery beast known as The Ostrich. This is Myths and Legends episode 361 in a pickle jar. This is a podcast where we tell stories from mythology and

folklore. Some are incredibly popular stories you might think you know, but with surprising origins.

Others are tales that might be new to you, but are definitely worth a listen.

Today, there are two stories from English folklore about how we look at things,

how your perspective changes, whether you're in a

pickle jar or in a tree or listening to bagpipes, and how being surprised by a sinister mythological

creature might be the best thing that ever happened to you.

Our first story today is that of Mr and Mrs. Vinegar, and we'll find them, as always, in their

pickle jar, which is also their home, but it's also

home but it's far was a jar and a pickle jar I mean

yes it was a farmhouse through and through a

farmhouse through and through,

just like it could be seen straight through and through.

Honestly, it was an architectural feat.

The whole thing was an inverse skylight more timeless than a dome and just as beautiful as the sky.

And for Mr. and Mrs. Vinegar, it was theirs.

It was home.
