Big old pickles?  No, neither my husband, my family or me have been a fan.  We like dill's for burgers and sandwiches (but only the really thin ones in the huge Best Maid containers), some bred and butter or hot and sweet, and Sam's Maple Bourbon ones!

 

But kosher, dills, etc. are not something we eat.

love all kinds of pickles! i miss those big barrels of pickles that used to be in the deli department!

 

my favorite with a tuna salad sandwich is MRS FANNINGS BREAD AND BUTTER PICKLES. they are becoming difficult for me to find around my area.

Any pickle works for me.  My latest obsession is Mt. Olive Sweet Heat Bread & Butter pickles.  Pickles of any kind are a staple for me.  And of course always have a bag of pickle chips in the house.


My husband buys a jar of Mt. Olive Sweet Heat  Bread and Butter Chips every time we go to the grocery store. We now have 2 unopened jars and one opened. He is so funny, He has to buy a jar every trip. 

But I am partial to B&G Bread and Butter chips. So I guess I am just as bad.

@drizzellla  I'm with your husband.  Those are my favorites as well.  I also have two unopened jars.  Can't take a chance you may run out!

i can no longer earn dill pickles.  The vinegar is too much and I get a choking acid reflux.  I have an occasional sweet pickle.

@SilleeMee.  Your friend probably read something about sea cucumbers that look like pickles.

I never met a pickle I didn't like! Heart

 

That said, it's only the savory I crave. No pickles in dessert please! I'll take my ice cream with the "sweet" only Smiley Very Happy

I'm really not a pickle person at all.  However, when I was a kid, my mother made a batch of Pickled Watermelon Rind every summer. 

 

I don't know what was better ... the finished product, or the amazing smell (cloves and other spices) in the kitchen when she was making them.  They were great! 


@TINKERBELL , I know exactly that memorable aroma. My grandmother made Watermelon Rind pickles but we called them Carolina pickles. I'd love one right now!

@TINKERBELL,  hope you found my response.  Somehow it got randomly placed amidst your post.  I've been having trouble with this posting system.  Has a mind of it's own. 😼

My Father called cucumbers "Pickles." I am more into a good cucumber these days. Minimal calories and seem to be part of many European countries meals on a daily basis. On a Mediterranean salad kick lately with cukes.
