Do you like to eat cucumber pickles?
When buying, I always buy the ones without the high fructose corn syrup and instead, real sugar. Organic is a plus.
Do you like dill pickles? The sweeter ones? The slices? The long cut slices? Whole pickles?
Do you make pickles? How did they turn out? Did you can or freeze them, or just make them and eat them fairly quickly?

They're called gherkins here in England. I'm a fan liked them since I was a kid in the 60s

Gherkins... hell yes. I will literally eat the pickles off someone else's big mac, lol.
Dill pickles, at least in the uk, are almost the exact same thing only the put dill into the pickling juice. I can't say I've ever noticed any difference. But then I am a bit of a luddite when it comes to herbs.
My grandma used to make pickled onion slices and cucumber slices. Leave them for a few days in vinegar, put together. They were the best thing ever with a good roast ham!
