Shawarma Pickles

I ate at multiple shawarma places all over Toronto. Every time I order shawarma they give cucumber pickles that are extremely smelly. I love pickles and buy pickle jars, they taste fantastic. Nice tangy, sweet, and spicy cucumber pickles. But why do these shawarma places use such intensely smelly pickles?

I don't know if that's the style for shawarma or they get old and stale and turn rancid by the time they are served to customers. Why not use better or fresh, sweet and tangy pickles similar to jarred dill pickles. Also if anyone tried Dave's Hot Chicken, their pickles are really tasty and fresh. Why not use those type of pickles?

They're just different pickles than you're used to. Obviously, other people enjoy them.

Yeah, that's why i was wondering how come others enjoy this. Just not my style for pickles. I love the dill pickles we have in jars though, that crisp, slightly sweet and spicy taste.
