>Go to the store
>Most of the pickles say made in india
Can't do it.

>>16045927
Hmm, I don't like that. Grillo's are made in Boston though. Most of the refrigerated ones are domestic, I think.

>>16045921
Idk where they come from. Idfc how it is made. I want that shit inside my body. Now. And I want my body to turn it into poo. Vinegar is life. I will turn these pickles, these fermented shaped vegetables, eagerly into poo.

>>16046026
>Go into fridge
>jar of pickles in there
>Open it
>one of them says: look at me I'm poocle rook
(the pickle turned into a poo)
>this will actually happen inside you

>>16045921
>not Claussen
Nice try

ive had grillos wickles and bubbies. they are good but my daily driver will always be the mt olive hamburger chip pickle

>>16046072
The "half" is the shape I least understand the need for. If you want them as crisp as possible, get the wholes and eat them like that or cut them yourself. If you want them cut then get them cut, it's worth the time savings to go for the quarter cuts or thin lengthwise slices or the pickle chips. But what do you do with half a pickle?

>>16046113
>But what do you do with half a pickle?
Eat them.

>>16045927
India makes heaps of good chutneys, pickles etc etc
Why wouldn't you buy them?

>>16045921
Hell yes. I tried fresh pickles three years ago and never went back. Room temperature pickle jars taste rotten to be now.

>>16046113
>But what do you do with half a pickle?

>>16046134
When people are openly shitting in the street (not a meme) is it incomprehensible that I might be slightly concerned about their food safety practices?

>>16047001
Pickles require pretty strict sanitation and it's very easy to tell when something's gone wrong in the process. If there was an issue with Indian pickles, you'd hear about jars exploding on store shelves and shit like that.

>>16046026
>CHECK IT OUT MORTY I TURNED MY PICKLE INTO POOP! IT'S PICKLE POOOOOOOP!!!

>>16045921
Have you ever noticed this shit cost 10$ for a jar.

>>16047001
if theyre shitting in the street then they arent shitting in the pickle factory

>>16046072
Listen I was a claussen fanboy too, until I had th Grillo from baaahhhhston. Fucking amazing.

These are real good if u in arizona. their mixed jars are not so good, the carrots are too thick cut and bland, and pickles not spicy enough.

>>16045921
u r crazy. the best ones are in jars with the spices still with it in the juices and has vlassic on it. vlassic pickles. they're the best.

>>16048141
i sure have
the italian dill chips are the best though
their bread and butter pickles suck dick but bread and butter generally does anyway, and the hot ones are pretty shit too. but these are just incredibly good and honestly worth the absurd price

for me; tis the pickles rick!

>>16045921
Yes. The ones that are not refrigerated are hardly even cucumbers at that point. They are highly processed, drowned in yellow dye and vinegar, have no freshness, no crunch. Your pic related are the best i've had. Claussen is the close second.

>>16045921
>>16048506
Grabbed these once because they were out of clausen's, they tasted damn good but why are they so fuckin skinny? The spears I got were at best a half inch thick and most were smaller.

I have come to fuck up your pickle game, plebs.

>>16048673
yeah the spears are small and this was a recent change
so i switched to the chips

For me it's jew pickles or gtfo

>>16045921
i am eating some dollar store pickles. pretty good

I want to eat a pickle :-)

oven dodger pickles are seriously the worst, and shitheads like bubbies have the audacity to charge more for their garbage

Half sours are for pussies. Full sours ftw

all my pickles come from right down the road at the corner of Olive & Vine
Mt Olive for life
claussen #2

Regular garlic dill or suck my pickle.

>>16045921

>>16046072

Grolillos are actually the closest thing to a claussen iv found. Real good stuff.

>not posting the superior pickled food in a pickle general

>>16046113

Halving them allows you to fit more in a jar doesn't it?

>>16048940
I've always wanted to try these

>>16048940
I really want to try these but I'm pretty gun shy about buying eggs online. I can't find them anywhere around me.

>>16046072
>hardly any grocery stores near me carry these anymore
They still have plenty of their sauerkraut for some reason. Fucking kike grocers can't be bothered to give up precious refrigerator space to store these babies.

>>16049846
Same here, I think clausen is having issues keeping up with demand, they were a small ish company but it seems like overnight everyone in the country realized vlasic is kinda shit

>>16048971
I just had a pickle jar that recently finished and threw some hardboiled eggs into the brine. Two days later I got pickled eggs

>>16045921
I like the ones from the big barrel

>>16049947
Same here, pretty good after two weeks

>>16048940
what the fuck pickle egg? are you mad man?

and the most gross pickle of course is Claussens pickles.

>>16045921
the only better pickles are ones you make yourself from home grown cucumbers

Since this is a cooking board I'd say it's worth it to make your own pickles. It takes about 5 minutes of prep and then you just let it sit for a couple weeks in the fridge and it's done. Plus you can make whatever taste you want.

>>16050621
>5 minutes
I'm sure it's more like a couple hours. But yeah I agree, I'm going to try it one of these days.

>>16050702
>wash cucumbers
>dissolve salt in vinegar water mixture
>put in jar
>add dill/garlic/etc
>let it sit in fridge for 2 weeks
it's that simple

>>16046072
Used to be a Claussen guy till I actually read the label and saw its loaded with HFCS.
Grillos all the wsy.

>>16050702
I've gotten really into making quick pickles over the past few months. It really is pretty easy. Making the brine only takes a few minutes and it's not like it's time consuming to wash and slice cucumbers. Just pack them in mason jars with whatever spices you like, pour in the brine and stick it in the fridge. Within a week they'll be better and fresher than anything you can buy at the store.

>>16045921
priced too high for what you get
if they were more reasonable with their prices, maybe i'd be a regular

>>16045921
The ones from Aldi are better than Grillos. Grillos have a dirtier taste??

>>16045921
>>16048244
>>16048891
>>16048940
Leave the pickling to me...

ALDI-brand pickles kind of stink

Just threw some red cabbage and vinegar into a mason jar to pickle it Gonna give it 3 or 4 days. Usually does the job by then. I love using it on tacos that I make

>>16045921
>warm pickles

>>16051815
They’re not warm retard they’re in the refrigerated section

>>16046113
The only legitimate thing is to slice them for sandwich use yourself, knowing that closer to the center is more crisp, then using the trimmings for snackings. But in general I agree with you.

>>16045921
Grillos are great on a burger

>>16048689

>>16045921
Guaranteed made by a kike.
>it isnt glass so you cant reuse the container and make your own pickles
>have to keep buying them

>>16052855
Sorry, Travis Grillo is an Italian Chad

>>16048940
I got 3 huge jars of pickled eggs for my birthday from my buddy. each one has a different spice mix. im going o make scotch eggs with some today.

you will have loud cavernous farts if you eat too many at once, and its really easy to eat too many.

>>16052855
Half-assing homemade pickles in a non-sealed container?
We've got a future botulism victim here, folks!
Learn to fucking can properly.

>>16046005
Grillos is 100% not made in Boston. They make them in a facility that makes other brands of pickles in GA and NJ. Also the owner's a fucking asshole.

>>16046072
Former claussen here. Also converted to grillo's.

Now i use the fucking brine for EVERYTHING. I just pickled some of my fresh peppers from the garden using an old tub of grillo's.
And using the spicy version to make burger sauce will change your life.

>>16052905
every time i've met him he was a huge chud.

>>16048234
A) they're not from Boston, the headquarters are in fucking Needham. B they don't even make them in Massachusetts.
Fuck Grillo's overpriced trash.

>>16051759
My man. Absolutely LOVE these things. When I was younger I thought everyone ate okra. We got served okra during school lunches, I didnt realize they were regional till I began travelling. Where you at? SC here.

Grillo sounds based and you guys sound like seething tr*nnies, no offense

>>16053742
he looks like of those fake italians that wear the flag but never been to italy. he looks like he smells bad.

>>16053742
Found Travis or one of his gay boys. Hope you OD like your useless waste cousin.

>>16053762
Lmao, I'm a multimillionaire and just retired after cashing out the King's Haw deal. You keep thinking about me while you work for the rest of your life, bud

>>16048540
Gay. Leave.

>>16051759
Meh at best

>>16045921
i made some half sours last month. they were delicious

>>16053720
Tx.

>>16050749
This, they taste great but I can't be playing with that corn Jew

>>16046072
Exquisite taste anon

>>16047028
If you think pickles require strict sanitation, you probably grew up in a white country.

Pickles are literally invented to be food that lasts forever despite contamination.

>>16053742
Hey, that's a Market Basket aisle! Based massachusetts picklboi!

>>16051778
Not those, get the ones in the deli section of Aldi.

>>16055428
I would figure this is the case. The traditional method of pickle making involves dumping them in a giant barrel and letting it sit around uncovered while dirty cowboys stick their unwashed hands into the brine and pluck them out. Then they never change the brine, just keep throwing cucumbers and salt in the barrel to keep it topped up

>>16046134
>left hand

>>16046026
>vegetable

>>16055640
Yes? Cucumbers are vegetables that become pickles (still vegetables).

>>16056325
BERRY MY DICK FAGGOT

Holy shit, they weren't kidding about this. They're so crisp and delicious. I just bought these but I'm about to finish the jar.

>>16048154
And that's a bad thing.

>>16056458
How much did you get it for?

>>16046072
>>16048234
>>16050749
>>16053594
Can't say I've found a ton of other high end brands, but I did buy this tub not knowing it was a well known brand. It's shits circles around Claussen, and just nukes from orbit room temp grocery pickles.

>>16055428
>>16055484
If you're somehow buying pickles by the barrel, sure.
If you're buying commercially pickled cucumbers in jars at a supermarket where the products are stamped with their country of origin and have spend nearly a year sitting in a warehouse or on the shelves, no.

Pickles might seem to "last forever", but the mass produced trash is volatile in the sense that you can't reliably sell a product that'll explode in a couple months after being sealed.

>>16048940
Rly want to try these someday

Old man Grillo passed away a few years ago... Things have changed but the pickles are still great.
