Mean old parents!!
Do you remember when they sold those giant dill pickles at the movies, sitting on a bed of shaved ice? Those things were HUGH and only cost $.05!!
I've never liked kosher pickles; something odd about the flavor. Maybe it's the garlic with the brine, I don't know, but it is almost impossible to find just plain old dill pickles up here. They're either kosher, or garlic, or something or the other. Every now and then, Vlasic has a particular kind I like. When I find them I'll buy several jars. I like em in chicken salad.
Claussens pickles are AWESOME, if you can get those there. They're usually in the deli section rather than on the shelves with the other pickles - they require refrigeration, for some reason. But they are wonderful.
I want some.
I hadn't know that there was such a thing as dill pickles that weren't kosher! Just kidding, I never thought about that one.
As a little kid, I used to go in the refrigerator and bite a hole in the dill pickle bag, so I could suck all the juice out.
