Your mom thinks it's my pickle.

>>16793575
Fpbp

>>16793571
I like Mt Olive brand

Claussen and it's not even close

Pickles fucking suck. Fuck pickles and anybody who likes them.

>>16793571
desu, after making them by yourself, store bought pickles just taste like vinegar

>>16793585
>Claussen
So much salt pic related is the pinnacle of pickles

>>16793660
>eating preheated cucumbers
lmao no

>>16793722
>idk anything I just assume all the time
What a grade A moron

>>16793784
didn't feel like looking it up - thanks for doing my work for me, anon. may give them a try.

>>16793660
this. they have a really nice fresh taste

>>16793585
came here to say this

>>16793799
and you get nice pickled garlic slices not that you can actually eat if you want not that minced up garlic other brands add in

>>16793571
America's Test Kitchen did a tasting.

>>16793571
These are the best pickles I've had recently. Some little local farm makes them and they're actually fermented instead of just pickled in vinegar so they've got that great funky taste.

>>16793586
>>16793585
I just crunged the perfect pickle slice and I am on cloud nine bros

You don't ferment your own? Been about 12 days now in a 4% salt brine

>>16793917
4% by weight?

>>16793585
this

>>16793815
I’ve been a big fan of Mt Olive . I’ll have to look for Boar’s Head .

>>16793966
by the weight of the water, I used 2 quarts so ~76g of salt

>>16793660
the grillo's container is absolute dogshit. it's not sturdy enough to be used for liquid. no one should sell pickles in brine in a plastic bucket like that.

>>16794092
lighter than glass and easier to pack. It does kinda suck to reseal compared to a jar, but the pickles inside are worth it

A local brand here in Pennsylvania called Peter Piper's Pickles. Their Garlic XXX hot pickles are incredible.

>>16794136
I can just tell they're delicious by looking at that guy.

>>16793660

Grilles and claussen are the only answer. And don't give me any hearty garlic or hot n spicy bullshit.

BUUUUURPPPPP M MORTY IM PICKLE RIIIIIIIIKCK!

>ctrl f
>"Kühne"
>no results

disappointing

>>16794182
I tried the spicy variety of grillos but I think the peppers add too much sugar and I didn't like the kinda fizzy tasting pickle that came from it

pickles are one of my favorite foods, especially pickled peppers

kroger has a decent spicy pickle, very crunchy with the perfect amount of heat, very good

not sure i can pick a favorite pickled cucumber

Best pickles are these delicious bastards in the cloudy brine.

You just know it's the truth

>>16793571
Boar's Head horseradish bread and butter

>>16793660
I'm mad I can't get the half sours here.

>>16793571
Crunchy cornichons/ gherkins
The kike made limp pickles are abominations

>>16795538

Mt Olive and Claussen are the only pickles i eat anymore.

picrel
All others suck cock by choice.

Pickle RICK

Of all the brands I’ve had picrel is my tried and true
>>16794286
These are really good too

these

Why are all pickles from the US and Canada kosher?

>>16793571
Cram and Mt.Olive (no vinegar) kind

>>16793660
Fucking delicious
>>16794092
Absolutely fucking 100% true. Especially with how the brine is literally topped off. You basically have to first open it over your sink.

>>16793571
Strubs. These are made in Montreal so may not be available in your area. General rule is that you want the ones where the brine gets all cloudy when you shake the jar. Also these are kept in the refrigerated section of the grocery store, not in the canned aisle like Bicks. Maybe this means they have less poison in them, not sure.

>>16796930
>>16797102
Strubs are fucking great.

Pic related are god tier but hard to find and really expensive.

>>16796958
they arent

>>16796478
This is the real winner. East German Pickles that are the only pickles in the world with an EU Protected Origin status.

We've almost exclusively switched to these pickles. Almost every other pickle just doesn't compare.

it's not even close.

>>16795538
Very exceptional pickle not my first choice for supermarket pickle but not second. 1b basically

>>16798058
too sweet for me

Anything other than pic related is trash.

>>16793571
I'm a Klausen man myself

>>16798058
i don't like spears or else i would have tried these by now

Claussen. And no, they are not made with bug. Not yet, anyway.

Dave's x rated hot pickles or wickles are the best, hands down.

>>16798058
These are what I ment. Have you tried the black jar, they are my favorite but are a little hot if you go in not expecting much.

>>16793571

Haven't had these, but their sauces are really good

Making pickles yourself is so easy. I have a greenhouse and i pickle radishes and pickles together with red peppers

>ITT

>>16796489
>Mt olive
Your taste is wrong and terrible

>>16795565
jumped from $5 to $9 at my stores.

>>16797147
Chili garlic pickles? Holy shit yes. Crunchy? Found them close by, 9.99. Strubs are 8.99. I don't mind the increase

>>16796263
its the only healthy way of making pickles you faggot kys or read for once.

>>16793571
La Costeña jalepeno pickle are good.

you're poor or a tastelet if you say anything besides pic related

>>16793585
Got Claussen last month and they were like a salt lick. Which isn't really that bad but to the point where they barely had any actual flavor. My go to is some local brand in a deli container similar to >>16793660

>>16801829
>brooklyn
lmao no

>>16801829
Looks like a kinda numale bugmanish brand for NPC’s. Do they pickle onions beans too?

>>16793571
The best pickle is one you've brined yourself, from cucumbers from your garden. Same with pickled jalapenos.

>>16801682
Not the crunchiest perhaps, but still decently crunchy and delightfully spicy. Just enough to get your nose running. Spicy, salty, garlicky, sour... for me they're perfect.

>>16802163
Forgot to mention you should definitely agitate the jar occasionally because the chili stuff settles to the bottom and they definitely benefit by being fully coated.

I like these things, thick cut and crunchy.

>>16795538
If I don't ferment my own, I buy these because they taste exactly the same.

Are there any pre-sliced pickles which aren't bad? They pack so much more efficiently, but the texture is never as good.

>>16801682
>Strubs are 8.99
Where are they 8.99? They’re 5.99 Canadian at my grocery store.

>>16801694

Anyone who claims there is a difference between this and the "gourmet" pickles is lying.

Just make them yourself. It's stupid easy.

already had Claussen on hand, picked up Grillo's and Bubbies just now. wanted whole ones, but Grillo's only had the hot spears.

Claussen has the best texture of all 3, but is definitely more salty. I think they have upped the sodium over time because I don't remember them being like this.

Grillo's I can't say 100% that the texture is not as good as Claussen since I only have spears to compare to, but they were noticeably less crisp/crunchy. Really nice fresh taste, kind of reminded me of pico de gallo - great flavor and the hint of spiciness was nice. Haven't tried the non-pickle bits in the brine, but I imagine they are also pretty good. Thanks to the anon who mentioned opening their garbage packaging over the sink, as it immediately spilled over. I'll keep an eye out for the whole dills to test out next time.

Bubbies were also very tasty - kind of a unique flavor I haven't had before. More crisp than Grillo's (again, I can't draw any true comparisons since spears), but not quite as crisp as Claussen's.

>Saltiness (least salty being better): Grillo's > Bubbie's > Claussen
>Flavor (underlying flavor ignoring saltiness): Bubbie's > Claussen/Grillo's (they have a dissimilar flavor profile - would depend on what I was in the mood for at any given time)
>Crispness: Claussen > Bubbie's > Grillo's
>Packaging: Bubbie's/Claussen > Grillo's

and now I have a nice assortment of different pickles in my fridge, so I'm pretty happy about that. Thanks for reading my blog.

>Anyone who claims there is a difference between this and the "gourmet" pickles is lying.
Vinegar bomb and you can still make out the yellow dye in the ingredients list from this shitty picture lmao I know this is bait but I couldn't help it

>>16793660
>gherkins in a plastic tub
do amerifats really?

>>16803047
>Grillo's only had the hot spears.
The hot variety of grillos always gets too fizzy for my liking and I agree about the crunchiness if you can find whole regular grillos they are the best. Nice write up anon

>>16801979
?

>>16803047
Grillo packaging makes me want to chuck it against the fucking wall
Pieces of shit

Great pick'ls though

>>16802954
Wow, it's almost like Canada is the third largest country on the planet and prices differ across the enormous landmass we occupy. Fucking zoomers...

>>16803246
guess you're illiterate too, his source has absolutely nothing to do with the health difference between fermented and pickled cucumbers, how do you even boot your computer up and navigate to this site when you're as intelligent as salt sprinkled on frogs legs

>>16803278

>>16793585
this, as far as brands that are commonly found at stores goes. sure there are probably better, but they would not be widely available.

>>16803047
Which is your favorite?

>>16803273
>it's almost like Canada is the third largest country on the planet

>>16803400
I'd probably forgive the slight hit on crispness and go with Bubbie's since it seemed to be the highest quality and best matched what I might expect if I were to ferment my own at home (as one anon also mentioned). As soon as I saw the cloudy brine I pretty much knew it was going to be great. Grillo's may still be very good, but I've yet to try the whole ones and the packaging really is a turnoff. Also hated having to go into whole foods to get them, but my dogs at least enjoyed the ride - and eating/drinking out of plastic just fucking sucks... I really hate that glass has gone out of style. A bit sad that Claussen has upped the sodium, as it's always been very good in the past, but I can't ignore the clear difference when tasting them side by side. For mass-market, most readily available pickles, though, Claussen definitely beats the rest.

>>16803464
I completely forgot about Bubbie's they make some good sauerkraut too.

If I want to make spicy pickles (ie. add habaneros to the liquid), do I need to do a vinegar pickle as opposed to a fermentation? All the fermented recipes I've looked up only include garlic and dill; furthermore, they tell you to be careful with the PH of the brine. Does this mean my spicy pickles need to be vinegar + refrigerator?

Gherkins aren't even the best pickle. Not on their own, anyway. Cauliflower, green tomatoes, unripe watermelons are a tier above gherkins IMO.

>>16803464
Ah man, they were on sale at Whole Foods two days ago and I almost bought some. Wish I had stockpiled a few. Agreed about the least salty pickles tasting better.

>>16793571
Why do people shit on Vlasic? Mt Olive taste bad and Claussen are too salty. Vlasic has that delicious zing with the perfect combination of salty, spicy, and sweet. The texture and crunch are always choice.

>>16793660
Bit on the salty side but also good. Sometimes you want that.

>>16793571
YO WTF I WAS CRAVING PICKLES AND WAS GONNA ASK YOU FAGGOTS WHICH PICKLE IS THE BEST AND THIS THREAD EXISTS LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL HIVEMIND HAHAA

>>16803766

anon, you're high

>>16803802
pretty sure anon always loves shoving pickles in his mouth - especially the cream filled kind

>tfw nobody mentions the pickle company you make pickles for

>>16795565
because Dollars are worth shit and you're going through inflation because your commie government is printing money to give to lazy nogs and zoomers.

>>16798015
But is it kosher?
