I love dill pickles and have noticed, sadly, that in most stores the variety and selection have narrowed. For example, Heinz Genuine Dills, which I consider the premier pickle, have largely disappeared from shelves. (Anyone have any leads?)
It also seems that polish dills are waning while kosher dills are still on shelves.
Could anyone share their favorite pickle products, be they national brands, regional or store brands, or even homemade recipes? Other relishes/pickled items you can recommend for those of us who like our sour (or sweet) sides and condiments?
Also what shapes do you like -- the regular hamburger dills, the sandwiches slices, the cornichons, the big dills? Do you like the more "well-done" pickles like Vlasic or the more "rare" less-cooked dills, or the refrigerated type such as Clausen?
Looking forward to hearing all opinions/recommendations!
Try the latest offerings from Viasic called Farmers Garden. They offer Garlic Dills,Bread and Butter Chips and some other varieties . They are packed in glass jars. A little pricey,but worth it IMO.
