Cornichons, especially with a charcuterie!

1. Kosher Garlic Dills

With sandwiches of all sorts

[Floyd R. Turbo]

3. Delicious! My go-to for potato salad, and beef stroganoff! 😋

[Phoenix61]

2. Had to look up what that was

Sweet Gherkins.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

4. I prefer the sour ones with onions and garlic! 😋

[Freddie]

5. The tiny garlic dills

When my son (now 28) was a toddler he loved those so much we used them as potty-training bribes. It worked.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

6. Great story!

[jberryhill]

7. lime

[Floyd R. Turbo]

8. Gotta get some! 😋

[doc03]

42. My favrite is Lime pickles but that doesn't look like the ones I like . My mother made them years

ago and the only place I ever seen them is once in a great while in Ohio Amish country. The ones I like are light green and very sweet.
The ones I like are made with pickling lime not the fruit lime.

9. Strub's kosher dills are simply the very best.

10. Next time I'm in Canada! 😋

[applegrove]

13. Unfortunately they need to be refrigerated so you will not be able to stock up and drive them home.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

18. In that case I'll just have to

eat them all there! 😋

[applegrove]

25. LOL!

[lame54]

11. Bubbies

[Floyd R. Turbo]

12. Another one to look for!😋

[Ohiogal]

14. Kosher dill pickles

From Hermann's made in Ravenna, Ohio

All natural, no fake colors, flavors, or preservatives.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

15. Yum! 😋

[Iggo]

16. Kosher Dill Spears.

Um-num.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

20. Yep! 😋

[Lunabell]

17. Bread and butter pickles

On a Turkey sandwich with a light spread of mayonnaise. Mmm

[Floyd R. Turbo]

22. Excellent! I add a little Dijon! 😋

[smirkymonkey]

19. Kosher Dills.

I kind of like Clausen's, but I know there are some really good gourmet pickles out there that I haven't tried yet.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

23. Clausen's are good! 😋

[hurl]

21. Polish Dills

Small red peppers in the jar provide just enough kick to grab your attention without distracting from the satisfying crunch. Great on sandwiches or as a snack. But it has to be this brand:

[Floyd R. Turbo]

24. Next time in Texas! 😋

[TygrBright]

26. Wickles in any/every form! n/t

[Floyd R. Turbo]

27. Yum! 😋

[dhol82]

28. Depends on what I am eating

Pickle choice is very important and needs to complement the food.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

29. Very true! Pickle pairing is the key to any gourmet meal! 😋

[fierywoman]

30. "half Dills" -- you find them in kosher delis, in pickle barrels.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

32. Nice! 😋

[Rhiannon12866]

45. I remember pickle barrels in the grocery store when I was a kid

There was a pair of tongs on top of the barrel and waxed paper bags on the side for your chosen pickle. My brother and I thought this was great fun, we always loved it when my mother let us get pickles to take home. I think they were a quarter.

[dameatball]

31. BaTampte half sour pickles and chilled sauerkraut as appetizers....like Wolfie's

Not sure of my spelling

[Floyd R. Turbo]

33. Sadly no retailers close by! 😢

[dameatball]

34. Not here either. I drove to the Publix in Boone and they said they were having trouble getting them.

Locally, they just give me a blank stare when I ask about them.

[juxtaposed]

[Floyd R. Turbo]

43. after putting up w/store bread & butter pickles afetr growing up w/ my grandma's,

[pansypoo53219]

put in jars. since i am no pro, just put in fridge. shared. still good after 3 yrs. makes great salad dressing & slaw.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

50. Awesome! 😋

[Nac Mac Feegle]

44. Waterrmelon rind pickles

Grandma's recipe.

Nobody's mentioned them. Maybe it's just one of those weird, freaky Midwestern things.

Or sweet pickles.

Pickled beets?

Maybe it's just what I remember from my childhood.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then there was the Halloween specialty I ran across somewhere:

Beet pickled eggs.

Take a gallon jar of pickled egg, a gallon jar of pickled beets, and an empty gallon jar.

Pull about 6 eggs out of the jar and set aside. Pour the brine from the eggs into the empty jar.

Pour the brine from the beets into the jar with the eggs, transfer enough beets to fill up the jar, close, and transfer to refrigerator.

Pour the egg brine into the jar with the beets, and add eggs removed from the jar, (if they haven't been eaten) seal that jar and refrigerate.

Refrigerate for approximately 6 to 8 months.

On Halloween, pull eggs from refrigerator, slice in half lengthwise, and place on plate.

The whites should be violet, and the yolks should be a horrific greenish purple color.

Ask if anyone wants some pickled alien eyes.

Prepare for the freak-out.

Although there just might be a few "Coooool"s. Those are the people you want to hang out with.

[Floyd R. Turbo]
