Mt. Olive Kosher Dills Fresh Pack Pickles, 1 gal.

If you like dill pickles these are the ones to grab in my opinion. The pickles inside this jar are very large pickles. I like it that they don't have that strong tart taste to them like other brands. I usually grab one during the day if I get a urge for a snack and it seems to do the trick. The pickle are solid, but I have gotten a few that felt soft on the ends. This is usually because the cucumber didn't develop fully as it grew on the vine before picking. Pickle still tasted great with or without the hollow spot. It's still a great go to grab snack. Great for making your own relish. I like taking a small part of it and dice it up and add to my tuna. I also save that pickle juice and drop me some boiled eggs into it and let it sit for a week before I get to enjoy another great snack to grab.

In my house, it is apparently a SIN to run out of pickles. Everyone in my family seems to believe pickles are a perfectly acceptable snack for any occasion. Hungry? Grab a pickle. Making a sandwich? Grab a pickle. Wandering through the kitchen looking for something to eat? Pickle. Wake up in the middle of the night with a little case of the munchies? Evidently the answer is, once again, pickle. My oldest son is in his mid-30s now, has been a grown man for quite some time, and one of the first things he still does when he walks into my house is head for the pickle jar. If I've committed the unforgivable offense of running out, trust me, I hear about it. So yes, we buy the enormous 128-ounce jar. Thankfully, Mt. Olive Kosher Dills are consistently crisp, crunchy, tangy and exactly what my pickle-obsessed family wants. The big jar is a great value when your household goes through them like normal people go through cookies. I can't promise this jar will bring peace and harmony to every family, but in mine, keeping it stocked apparently prevents civil unrest. Five stars. I know better than to run out.
