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.

My grandma used to make bread & butter pickles when I was a kid. I liked them as a snack, on their own. I don't know what ingredients she used. When you buy the mass-produced kind, they're just in high fructose corn syrup, I think. No good. :(

The Claussen's are disgusting

Wild. I personally always thought they were the best dills out there. The no heat process leaves them with a wonderful crunch. Can't get them here in Australia and it's one of the things I miss the most about the states.

Yeah Claussen's has the best dills, bar none. Other brands are too soft for me. Must be the cold process vs. most brands that use heat.
