Picking the world’s best pickles one pick at a time!

Pickles are a thing. They have been a thing for a while. What started as a method of preserving food merely to survive has turned into a booming craft industry, hobby, boutique marketing phenomenon. Pickles are fairly inexpensive, easy to make, with a long shelf life.
I’ve never met a pickle I didn’t like. But I’ve met many that I like better than others. Pickle-flavored popcorn, chips, garlic, vegetables, ice cream and even a giant gummy pickle will be reviewed on here. You might even learn some history or find me at a festival featuring what else? Pickles!
How do I rate/review all this vinegary, salty deliciousness? I like what I like, so I compare it against my taste bud tally. I prefer crunchy, uncooked, and salty. I prefer whole or half to spears or slices. But if it is sliced, I prefer thin to thick.
One of my early memories was walking around with a Heinz Genuine Dill wrapped in a paper towel to contain the juice. Growing up in Pittsburgh, back when they still made the ketchup there, driving across the bridge by the factory in July and smelling the overwhelming waft of vinegar and rotten tomatoes was heaven.
I will review and post on Pickle Picker, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and tag your company or restaurant if you have a page.
