My vote goes for to the Kosher sour. And while Gus's is great I have to suggest Petak's in Fairlawn, NJ.

Hey, leave pickles to us salty food fans and, for those Bread and Butter pickle fans, eat cheesecake or something that truly cures your sweet-tooth.

Sounds like sour grapes 'cause we dissed pickles in hot sauce. :D

I hate pickles and almost everything pickled. The exceptions:

-Sweet relish.
-Pickled garlic.

I once ate a pickle wedge due to starvation at Katz's in NYC. But it was more cucumber than pickle, so it was tolerable :p

Can grapes be pickled?

Ah!

You had a half-sour pickle!

I like Bubbe's pickles, they are quite good.

But the fairly spicy pickles you get in Israel are really good I don't know where to get them here.

I love pickles too! They have to be low in calories, right (Humor me if necessary!)

I'm too lazy to go upstairs and look. I'd guess a pickle is 5 calories.

I thought pickles were like 250 calories, 20g of cholesterol, and chalk full of transfat and high fructose corn syrup. :D

If that were the case, retailers would suffer from the disease known as pickle sell anemia.

On a similar note, I found some pickles and olives from Israel that I really like in a market in Chicago, but the TSA took my pickles and olives away when I tried taking them back home!

Was it the TSA or Dept. of Agriculture that took them away?

Pickles (and olives) in jars qualify as "liquids" and are banned from the aircraft cabin in the US. Thus pickles in carry-on will be searched out and confiscated by the TSA.

TSA - domestic flight from ORD - ORF, pickles and olives in a sealed can, not even a jar, as number_6 pointed out. Sounds like a song title, "The TSA took my olives away" :mad:

Anyone besides me recall the "pickle harvest" joke that Charles Kuralt played on Walter Cronkite during the evening news? Apparently they re-used video tape at that time, so the segment is lost to history.
