OT-What's your favorite brand of spicy pickles?

in EggHead Forum
I'm online searching for spicy pickles.  I'm hoping to pair them with ice cold beer and maybe shed a few pounds in the process.  There seem to be many varieties, some national brands and some smaller local brands.  What do you prefer, and just as importantly, where do you get them?

    I'm leaning towards these but could really use some suggestions.

    I like these rickles pickles they started out in Fremont Indiana and have branched out since I believe you can get them off there website.

    I like Wickles, but they are more sweet than spicy. Here in the south you can get them most anywhere.

    I try to avoid sweet pickles, but I do appreciate the suggestion.

    Their relish and sandwich spreads are both excellent as well.

    Sorry for the large picture, only one I could find.  Been using these for a while.  Great with BBQ on slider bun.  Their Gator Okra ain't too bad either. @Killit_and_Grillit fries their Okra.

    I've been buying these by the case direct from the manufacturer. But google might lead you to some cheaper vendors.

    I bought some McClures pickles in person when I was in NYC.  They were very crisp and very good, but I didn't get to try their spicy product.  I just had their standard pickles.

    Yeah those Gator pickles are legit. 

    If you are are looking for just a hot pickle they aren't it. They have a sweet candied flavor to them as well. (And like 18g of sugar per serving)

    But if you batter those pickles and fry them...you'll make a lot of friends. 

    Also, I'm starting to think @Possumtrot is a Pickle Rep. 

    and @TN_Sister_State I found your Cairo BBQ sauce in my garage fridge cleaning it out this morning.

    Not sweet at all, just hot.  These aren't really good on their own, but great if you're frying pickles.


    THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

    Kind of.  I'm definitely going to have my beer.  That is a given.  But I need a little something to go with it.  I do a lot of wings, which are good and no carb, but I don't tend to lose weight.  Same applies when I eat nuts and/or cheese.  I think spicy pickles would pair well with a cold beer, and most are super low in calories and carbs.  Though I am surprised on how many carbs the "sweet and spicy" pickles have.  Football and blue jean season is closer than you think, so I'm just wanting to slim up a little.

    I like the Alton Brown "Firecracker Carrot"  recipe for hot pickled veggies from Good Eats.

    Zups Hot Dills. Find them in northern Minnesota. Their hot mustard is also excellent.

    These are more sweet than spicy but they have little kick at the end and damn they're good. Since I found them a few weeks ago we've plowed through close to 10 jars. Lol... I'm definitely going to try some of these other suggestions though. Good thread.

    These were all I could find at my local grocery store today.  Just put them in the beer fridge and going to try one after my third beer or so later today.  I'll report back.
