The Love Of Pickles

[huntertrw]

These, on the other hand, are a favorite of mine:

I had some home made dill pickles once where the canner put a little jalapeno in the jar. It was nice. Not enough to make it hot, just enough to add something extra to the flavor.

Bubbies ! as noted above by Servent King ! expensive but well worth it!!! Love em' with beer and chips.

I also love their sauerkraut. No chemicals or other junk in their products either.

Anyone else enjoy pickles? I love them enough to keep a jar next to my recliner.View attachment 304496

Mt.Olive is good enough; but some of the store brands are even better.

All of them! I am known to spend twenty minutes or more in the pickle aisle of the grocery. Besides cucumber, I like everything else pickled. I buy anything I see and grow my own to pickle as well.

Im gonna have to make some refrigerator pickles this summer. I miss a good pickle.

Love these half sour garlic pickles, the only problem is 3 years ago they were 4.50 a jar and now they are NINE EFFING DOLLARS A JAR... needless to say i don't eat them anymore.

We used to buy specialty pickles and pickled string beans, asparagus etc. I won't pay the current prices either. We just skip that section now and move on to the Claussen pickles if we want pickles for sandwiches.

Bought a corned beef the other day so revisited the half sours 9.80 now.

I enjoy pickles and pickle juice, particularly after a Jameson. But there is a new trend going around the southern US that I’m not sure I will try. Pickles in Dr. Pepper. Are 30 some odd flavors not enough??

Sometimes exceptions must be made ;-)

Batampte pickles at my Stop and Shop are $7.50 bucks a jar. Yes, they've increased in price, but as an occassional indulgence they are, in my view, worth ever penny . They are best when bright green. As they age in the jar they darken, change in flavor and are less crisp.

Friends, not having tasted my wife's pickles is the same as never knowing the touch of a beautiful woman.

It is a damn shame.

 

[CoffeeAndBourbon]

N-MBM those looke amazing!!

 

[woodsroad]

For years, I made pickles of all sorts. When we lived in Central New Jersey, Kirby's were cheap, I'd buy 'em by the bushel at roadside stands. Then I hit the Pickle Saturation Point. I still love 'em, but I've made and eaten enough for several lifetimes!

I can't eat any of those vinegar soaked things. I prefer fermented pickles, like God intended pickles to be. This is where the cucumbers are set in brine, not distilled vinegar, and the pickle ferments into a vinegar. This is how pickles are meant to be. Those vinegar bombs that grannies started making about 80 years ago were meant to mimic real pickles.
Try a real one, and you'll never eat that vinegar shit again.

Pickled anything, I'll eat it.

Every year we make a big batch of fermented pickles using large crocks that my great grandmother used for the same thing. So much more complex and interesting tasting than commercial pickles.

We usually ferment a bunch of cayennes for making hot sauce but I have plenty left from last season so not this year.

I also pickle pepperoncini peppers. This year I’ve got 10 plants going so maybe they’ll last through the winter but I eat them a jar at a time so...

Fermentation is fun and easy, too bad more people aren’t inclined to give it a shot.

I’m very fond of pickles of all kinds. Takuan and rakkyo are my favorites. I could live on takuan and white rice for days and be perfectly happy.

I really like bread and butter pickles. On that note, anyone else here like Fibber McGee and Molly?

This one’s damn funny. I usually suggest this episode as an introduction.

Just made some sweet and spicy ones with our fresh cukes, habanero, onions, garlic, black peppercorn,and dill....so good.

A good dill is hard not to like. The local Aldi’s has some that are tastier than most. Used to pickle Fresno peppers to use on a smoked tri-tip sandwich we used to do, with some brandied Demi glacé au jus, horseradish sauce and arugula. They were divine.

Now that we’re out in the country will have to try the fermented pickles…. I like to hide a pickle on occasion as well.
