Anyone that does not like pickles is a person that should not be trusted, period.

These are the best pickles ever made and it's not even close. Oh, I know the market!

I’m ok with eating a slice of pickle, but you won’t see me gnawing on a whole pickle. Too much.

I had a friend in jr hi who was way into pickles. He wore braces and always had bits of pickle stuck to them. I still can’t eat a pickle without thinking of that disgusting sight.

Not crap with major waffles

Pickles are great. My little sister will buy those giant jars of pickles just to drink the juice. Like a pint of pickle juice in a cup. Fucking animal! Her kidneys are gonna be fucked.

New pickles for me, so they still have some snap left and a pleasant saltiness.

Do the spicy Korean-style pickles used in oi muchim count? Actually all Korean pickles kinda rule.

Cornichons are a nice foil for pâtè.

Absolutely hate those sweet bread-and-butter pickles and don't much like the way-to-soggy, way-too-brined, way-too-much-dill deli-style ones either.

If we're not limiting this to cucumbers, Ukrainian-style pickled whole tomatoes (green or red) are pretty special.

I'm lucky enough to have this sainted place just down the street from me, although MrsEaster will also make quick pickles at home:

I find pickles disgusting. Absolutely gross. My daughter however eats tons of them. Probably 4 or 5 jars in our fridge right now.

Dill pickles (cucumbers) are okay. Slices on a pulled pork sandwich can be great.

Pickling other vegetables, though? NOT CRAP

I’m on the pickle fence - they’re fine, but I don’t seek them out. Might be cause I’m pretty cheese ambivalent - the pickle love match partner, as I understand it

Kimchi on the other hand - hell yeah!

Why stop at vegetables? I love finishing a jar of pickles because then I put a few hardboiled ova in the brine and make pickled eggs.

Pickled pig's feet can trot the fuck on though
