I'm kind of in the meh category. I was really avoidant with pickles when I was a kid, so my brother played tricks on me and hid them in my drive-in burgers to get me to eat them, and then said "AHA, you DID eat a pickle!"

(16,585 posts)Cannot stand the smell or taste. What really gets me--and yes, this is a First World problem--even if you order your food w/o pickles, they will always put them on the plate anyway. If you complain about it they just take them off the plate, or burger, or whatever they are on, except it's too late. By now everything already tastes/smells like pickles. And what's with fried pickles all of the sudden? They're effing everywhere. Arrrrgh!

(63,221 posts)Especially on burgers, sandwiches, in tartar sauce, etc. I absolutely hate sweet pickles. My mother always made both sweet and dill pickles. She called the sweet pickles "bread and butter pickles". They were good if you go for that kind of thing, but I am just not into sweet pickles. My favorites are Claussen's pickles. I just love them!

(7,858 posts)But I don't go overboard. If there are pickles on a burger, I just take them out. If there's a slice next to my sandwich, hubby gets it.
Asian style pickles (pickled in salt) are good, but I don't have them often.

(12,132 posts)hot ones, sweet ones, dill ones, pickled other things too - like okra and watermelon rinds. Never tried a pigs feet or egg though.
one of my top 5 perfect meals is grilled cheese sandwich, tomato soup and sweet pickles.
Costco sometimes has Famous Dave's sweet hot pickles. Spicy fun!
