Subdeacon Joe Posted October 17 Share Posted October 17 (edited) I'm partial to Also if you don't want to slice them yourself. ADDED: I grew up eating Del Monte, don't care for them now. Valasic aren't bad, used to be my go to brand. Can't stand Clausen. Edited October 17 by Subdeacon Joe 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted October 17 Share Posted October 17 I prefer Clausen kosher dills and the spicy ones when I can find ‘em. They’re much crisper and they hold up better on barbecue and burgers. I buy the biggest jar of the sandwich slices and add crushed red pepper, hot red onion, and some Tapatio to the brine. Then I let ‘em marinate in that for a week or two until I’m ready for a sandwich! My mom used to can some pretty good hot kosher dills, but she doesn’t do it anymore and I’ve run out of them. The Clausen dill chips aren’t bad either, but I like the slices and spears the best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gracos Kid Posted October 17 Share Posted October 17 And for some reason drinking the Dill pickle juice will quickly help leg cramps to go away......I save the juice just for that purpose.....You can actually buy pickle juice shots at Walmart but they are $1.50 for just one gulp.......Cheaper to save the juice from the jars..... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TN Mongo, SASS #61450 Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 +1 for the Mt. Olive Kosher dills. I like Claussen and Vlasic pickles, but they have gotten too expensive. I can afford them, it just bugs me to pay that much more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 (edited) Save the dill pickle juice to make dill pickle chip dip. Can't buy it since 1998 or so, so I make my own. Just add one pureed pickle slice and juice to your taste to sour cream and let it sit for a day or two, then dive on in.

J.D. Daily Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 The last time I was in Reno I stopped a COSTCO and along with the Grillos spears they typically have they had Mt. Olive that Subdeacon Joe had recommended on a previous dill pickle thread. So I purchased a jar as well a Grilos spears. I have to admit I am a Mt. olive man after a taste test. The misses agrees the Mt. Olive are great. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 I just don’t like the texture of Mt. Olive pickles. They lack that snap that I get from Clausen and some homemade kosher dills and they’re more salty to my taste. I bought some Whickes brand hot pickles. They were crisp and had the heat I wanted, but I wouldn’t want them all the time. Vlassics are a little less limp than Mt. Olive, but STILL don’t have the texture I want in a pickle. Haven’t seen any Nathan’s in a long time. Glad there’s a selection!! Variety let’s folks get what they want!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yul Lose Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 Costco used to carry Carnegie Deli pickles, probably the best pickles ever but they haven’t carried them for 5 years or so, I guess. Nathan’s were very similar but the only market that carried them out here changed hands and the new owners quit stocking them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll occasionally get a jar of Mt. Olive that don't have a snap to them, but most are pretty crisp. They seem to have stopped making the Zesty Kosher Dills that were my favorite. Really good sliced lenghtwise on a mandolin for putting on sandwiches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.K. Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 So far, I found these were the best tasting DILLS! (To be fair, I have not tried the Nathans) But I do love the Mount Olive "SWEET HEAT" bread and butter pickles!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381 Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 Claussen, followed by Boar's Head. Mt. Olive for inexpensive minded. We make our own, which IMO is better than those above, because I can control the crunch, and I like a lot of garlic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 I was in the store and saw Clausen Kosher Dill Miniatures. Bought a small jar. Sort of crisp. But LORD are they salty! Almost no other flavor. Pretty much what I remember of them. Not worth the premium price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
