Our current favorite is a Kroger house brand, _Private Selection Baby Baby_. Dinky 3-inch garlic dills with chunks of garlic and sprigs of dill in the jar. Oh, yeah, babe! 😛

Try Mrs. Fanning’s Bread and Butter pickles on a liverwurst sandwich sometime. The sweetness provides a nice _riposte_ to the salty meat spread.

Claussen’s Kosher mini-dills are my favorite. For a nationally distributed brand, they are pretty much tops. **DaToad** is spot on with his mention of Taste O’ Texas pickled okra. This is one of my favorite alternatives to regular pickles. Any of you who have never tried Jalapeños _en escabeche_ on your burrito, tostada or taco have yet to live. My friend is one of the most fussy eaters I know but he’s hooked on the carrots in this mix. I’m slowly working him up to the chiles.

Of course, then there’s pickled beets, which few in this thread will admit to liking. A slice of pickled beet with the coarse Danish paté called _leverpastej_ is a classic smorgasbord sandwich.

I don’t like pickles. But I do like it when you get pickles on a sandwich and after you take the pickle off, you get the “essence” of a pickle, in smell and taste, just not the gross feeling of chewing on a pickle.

Claussen’s Kosher Dills are the best pickles that didn’t come out of a big red barrel with a circular sliding plexiglas top and metal tongs chained to the barrel at the Food Fair on Washington Lane in Philidelphia circa 1960

I like them both. I like to make bread n’ butter pickles better, though. The homemade ones are fabulous.
