I’ve been doing some reading and it seems like only the crispest crunchiest pickles don’t have that squeak when you bite into them but all I can get locally at my regular grocery stores are Grillos, Klausen, and Mt. olive. I love pickles but hate the squeak!! Any recs?

Mustard Pickles, Never heard of these, before this week, so I had to make a couple jars

If you like mustard and you like pickles, they are great

Recycled pickle juice

Pickle pants!

I asked for 5x pickles and maccas sent me 15. What a blessing.

tasted like regular herb crackers

Olive Brine, Lemon oil, olive martini

If you’re ever near a Middle Eastern grocery store, please look for this brand of whole pickled cucumbers. They’re heavier on a dill and garlic flavor with GREAT crunch. Usually whole pickles have a slight softness to them but these are super crunchy and refreshing. I got them for my homemade shawarma sandwich but will definitely be rebuying just to snack on.

I have been frustrated by the same things everyone else has noticed with Claussen spears lately. Three days ago I tried something drastic.

I bought a jar of Claussen spears and a jar of Bubbies spears. I separated the brine from each, rinsed the Bubbies, and put the Claussen brine in with them instead.

The results were astoundingly good.

I know this is an expensive solution to a niche problem, but I had to share. Please insert your hate below when you have a moment!

PS—This is not my normal practice, I just got frustrated and wanted to try something. My normal practice is to make my own fridge pickles with an ancient family recipe.

Did my pickles go bad

Found these at Menards and man are they good remind me of pickle barrel pickles in away

I accidentally ate two Claussen pickle spears from a jar that had a Use By date from almost three months ago. Usually I wouldn't sweat it, but pickles usually have a Best By date. The Claussens were definitely soft and not as tasty as normal, but they didn't smell off and the jar was sealed prior to me eating them (totally forgot I had them and thought I had more time regardless).

Has anyone eaten Claussens after the Use By date?

the tuna is good but not very pickle - y

From Lulus Public House. Their description: Pie crust filled with a blend of chopped pickles, pickle juice and cream cheese. Topped with homemade savory whipped frosting made with ranch and Cholula Hot Sauce. Garnished with a gherkin and a sprinkle of dill. (Vegetarian)

Simple and easy to make. Really just a standard refrigerator dill pickle.

I just chop up a honey crisp and let it sit in some leftover pickle brine overnight and the texture and flavor is heavenly

Well now I’m curious as well.

update

So I got home and opened them up. They had the typical top pop so that was a good sign. They didn't smell bad (they smelt like kind of nothing really very light) so I took a bite (it wasn't soggy but also not like super crunchy hard to explain i guess hahaha) and they weren't overly anything. They didn't taste bad so I ate 2 whole ones. They seemed like they tasted fine though! They are definitely different from regular store bought pickles.

Do these look normal?
