(434 posts)And dill relish. Except in potato salad where I prefer diced sweet pickles or sweet relish. My son likes a particular brand of dill pickles so much he drinks the "juice" when the jar is empty.

I tried to throw away a jar with just juice, no pickles last week and he stopped me.

(75,939 posts)My wife thought it would be fun to get me some of those in a hot & spicy version.
Threw them out. As much as I like garlic dill pickles, these were way too hot! It was like the just poured pepper spray in the jar. Shazam, were those things hot.
So, I guess I like regular old garlic dill pickles.

(16,868 posts)LOL. I don't even like the smell of dill. Go figure. It goes along with my distaste for ketchup.

"Bubbies" is pretty much the only brand that even comes close. Sometimes I make my own.

(3,207 posts)They were the best! She added a dried hot pepper or two, to the jar, so they had a little zing.
