I love dill pickles too and I have to admit that I have stooped to drinking some of the juice!
I love kosher dills; my favourites are Strubs dill pickles but I like Bick's hot pickles too (not sure if these companies distribute in the USA; might just be in Canada). I love to sit down at the end of the day, have my green tea (I'm Japanese Canadian), eat pickles and read a good book!
I love Japanese and Korean pickles too; they're often very salty with a soy sauce taste or a garlic/chili taste that's irresistable, and often I can't help but have the juice too!
Glad to see I'm not the only in the world who has done this!
