I went to the grocery store the other day and I like to get those miniature dills to have on the side of sandwiches and burgers and such. Well I grabed the wrong jar and got 'sweet pickles' instead. The bad thing is I had no idea and I have never had those before. So when I was eating my lunch and took a bite I was like "WTF" ahhhhh! It tasted horrible. Why would anyone want a sweet pickle? :lol:

Sweet pickles often referred to as bread and butter pickles are considered a delicacy in the south. I like them but not on a sandwich, I have to have dill pickles for those.

Ugh, I despise sweet pickles. They were all I saw in Europe when I went there. It was an outrage. I love love love dill pickles, though; I could eat them until I got sick.

^How about Kool Aid Pickles? it's another Southern thang.. (and no I've never had one--sounds interesting).

Now, I've had fried pickles--those are good! (but so baaaaaaaaaaaaaad).

Im from the sounth but I've never heard of this "Koolaid Pickle". I have tried fried pickles. Their ok, I prefer my pickles really cold instead of hot. :p

I prefer dill pickles to sweet pickles. The first time I tried a sweet pickle I didn't like it but if I put them in a sandwich with a lot of sauce, I think they're okay.

Making a pickle sweet is like that bacon chocolate bar some things just dont go well together. :p

Bacon chocolate actually sounds to me like it could be quite nice. I put honey on bacon, I think that tastes nice.

Yeah when I eat pancakes and bacon on the side the bacon gets a little syrup on it and it taste pretty good. I don't know about chocolate and bacon though. :D

I rarely crave dill pickles anymore but LOVE and always have, sweet mixed pickles. I also love "sandwich" pickles and especially gerkins (the most expensive of all). I find dill tends to overpower the taste of other things too much.

That's why I've always been surprised that dill pickle potato chips aren't available in the U.S. like they are here. I would have thought they'd be just as popular or moreso. Now they're good with a sandwich or hotdog for sure!

they do have Dill Pickle chips in the states, they are just harder to find - I've actually even seen Ketchup chips in a couple of stores here.

Do they now? I heard they didn't (but this goes back maybe 3 years now). Could be they're in selective states or something. I think I did hear of them showing up on the West Coast or something. I'd actually eat ketchup chips over the dill pickle ones.

I know I've seen dill pickle flavouring for popcorn too. I'll stick with salt and butter! ;)

Funny - that's one of the states I thought they didn't have them in since I have several friends and family members there. (We used to mail each other stuff - I'd send them chips and they'd send me up oyster crackers). lol

MonarC

Well they are hard to find the only place I have been able to find them now is at HEB grocery. They use to sell them at Walmart but I can never find them there anymore.

We have a regional brand called Zapp's--kettle cooked type chips--so many varieties, but at my store we carry the Cajun Dill, as well as the Salt & Vinegar. I eat them only as a special treat. I normally stick to the regular because it has low sodium for a chip.

MonarC
01-12-2009, 11:48 AM
Yeah that is true they have so much sodium. I need a whole bucket of water to wash them down with. :lol: I also love the jalapeno chips.
