    Vlasic or Claussen?

    I just had to do this. LOML and I disagree on which are better (kosher dills). It might hinge on which one makes one eyebrow twinge. What's your favorite, or is there another brand I should try?

    Claussen are the only pickles worth having.

      I agree. Claussen.

      Or anything larger than a small guinea pig swimming in a jar of brine in a New York Deli. How about this:

          I usually grab a jar of Steinfelds....but I've not really compared them side by side. Not big pickle eaters in my family...a jar seems to last forever.

            Can't vote for both, so I won't vote for either, but I am fond of the Vlasic Zesty Dills and the Claussen Garlic Dills (the refrigerated ones). I have lately eschewed pickles, however, in favor of my preferred pickle product... garlic-stuffed green olives!!! Yummmmm!

              I prefer Bread and Butter pickles over dill. But i usually buy both brands.

                I prefer the bread and butter as Zenaca, but Claussen is the only non sweet pickle that gets a ticket inside our home....

                I can't believe I am taking time to post this... ha.. ha... ha..ha...ha..

                  Tony Packo's Sweet Hots, of course. Of course, you could also go with the classic Tony Packo's Pickles and Peppers...

                      I believe that is the brand that I buy at Bi-Mart here in town. We really like those but around our house a jar of pickles lasts about 2 weeks if we are lucky. The kids love pickles and sneak them when ever they can.

                        Oh no, bleu cheese stuffed olives. Especially if they are swimming in some ice-cold Stoli's with a wee shot of tonic.

                          I like the bleu cheese ones in a bloody mary, but the garlic ones are for shock value, and the ones I get are packed in pesto and chardonnay. Keeps the skeeters away for a week.

                            Oh Boy. but try a Gorganzola stuffed olive in a gin martini. WOW!
                            P.S. for AA. You can throw away the gin and delight in the olive.
