“Whatever tickles your pickle”

“Whatever tickles your pickle” means “whatever tickles your fancy” or “whatever makes you happy” or “whatever’s your choice/desire” or “whatever turns you on” or “whatever floats your boat.” “Pickle” is also a pun on a sexual organ. The silly saying is cited in print from at least 1998.
 
Similar food-related phrases include “Whatever melts your butter” (since 1975), “Whatever butters your biscuit” (since 1996), “Whatever bakes your cake” (since 1997) and “Whatever sprinkles your donut” (since 2012).

Hon, we don’t judge people by who they are or what their preferences are
- what ever tickles your pickle is your business and none of ours.
