Pickles...sweet or dill?

[poohandwendy]

I LOVE dill pickles...as a matter of fact, I used to drink dill pickle juice when I was pregnant (craved salt in a big way, and amazingly I did not have BP issues or swelling- go figure)

Anyways, I just cannot get into sweet pickles. I have tried them dozens of times and they just are not a pickle to me. If you eat sweet pickles, what do you eat them with? And why do they make all relishes out of sweet pickles instead of dill?

Which do you prefer? And is there a really 'good' sweet pickle? Maybe I just aven't tried the 'best'?

I like sweet pickles every once in a while but for the most part I am a Dill Pickle Fiend. My mom buys the giant jar of them and it is usually gone pretty fast. The small sweet pickles are good. That way you just get a little. I don't usually eat them at home. I usually just get one or two when we are out at places.

Sorry, but I just can't stand pickles. I don't like it when a burger placed automatically puts them (as well as other stuff) on their burgers and I end up having to pick them off.

Drink pickle juice????? I hate pickles, just looking at them makes me . The thought of drinking pickle juice is totally .

BTW, we need a better barf smilie. You can guess my answer in the poll.

I love dill pickles too, but I also LOVE those midget sweet pickles from Vlasic too. For dills, I can take about any brand, including generic, but not for the sweet ones.

LOL, sorry for grossing you out!

I don't know why I craved it so much.

It really bothered my DH, he felt the same way you do. I had to hide it from him.

Actually, I've heard of pregnant women having the same craving.

When I order a sub and see the pickles in the container, all mushy and gross looking, I just have to look away.

Another food that totally gross me out, much worse than pickles, is a bruised or over-ripened banana. OMG!!! I can't tell you what that does to me!!!!!!

Yuck, I can't stand sweet pickles. They make me want to heave. I do like dill pickles though.

This is too funny. I thought my sister, my niece and myself were the only
ones who like pickle juice. I only like dill pickles though. Can not stand sweet pickles. My body must always be craving sodium because I'm always craving dill pickles! Oh...and my chocolate lab loves dill pickles as much as I do!

I love pickle juice too. Usually when the pickles start running low I drink some of the juice to even it out. My mom drinks it to stop charley horses.

Only dill for me!

My DD drinks the pickle joice straight from the jar when the pickles are gone. it makes me gag just watching her!

I love dill pickles - but once in a while I like a sweet pickle.

I love a dill on burgers or with chips but I also love sweet relish and Bread and Butter pickles.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Both, actually I just like pickles period.

When I was a kid I drank dill pickle juice however it had to be from the "Heinz Genuine Dills".
Those are some salty pickles!

OMG....this is my favorite kind/brand...I wont share these with my kids... (these can get expensive the way my kids eat pickles). My kids love any kind of dill pickle even kosher dill which I buy in the large jars. Im not a fan of kosher dill just sour dill (which is hard to find) so that is why we have both kind always in the house. Never ever ever eat sweet pickles, I use dill relish where most use sweet relish.

Yep I drank the pickle juice as a kid all the time. My dad would have fits watching me drink it.... I occasionally drink it now but has to be over ice.

I freeze the juice in mini cups and make pickle pops for my kids. It doesnt freeeze solid but alittle harder than slush and they melt fast.... These do not last long either.

My dad makes the best dill pickles you've ever had. They are a family favorite

There is dill relish, not just sweet; it's the only kind of relish I eat. DH only likes sweet. Weirdo.
