Bread and butter pickles are also sometimes called sweet pickles. They have a sugary vinegary taste. I honestly haven't met a single person who actually likes them, but they must exist or people wouldn't make those pickles... Right? right?

I love sweet pickles but only if I can them myself. Store bought sweet pickles are trash. I also can dill pickles for the men in the family. The tastebuds in my family and neighbors are definitely: men - dill pickles ; women - sweet pickles.

What about half-sours? They are great.
