    This famous food phrase is not in the AMERICAN HERITAGE DICTIONARY OF
AMERICAN QUOTATIONS.  Perhaps Fred Shapiro has the exact date that Alice
Roosevelt Longworth said it.
   The "Talk of Texas" list has: "Sour personality: Looks like she was weaned
on a pickle."

Pg.2?, col. 5:
   A new Coolidge story has bobbed up in Washington.  How it will affect the
campaign, if at all is not yet determined.
   Apropos of the president's rather sour visage, one of the younger and less
reverent members of the official family is said to have remarked "Coolidge
was weaned on a pickle."
   By those who have had occasion to test the rather acid quality of the
president's sarcasm, this phrase has been dubbed a stroke of genius.
