Anyone else enjoy pickles? I love them enough to keep a jar next to my recliner.

I don't like those either. Now midget kosher pickles are delicious. Bread and butter is nice too.
I enjoy most things which are pickled, cucumbers, jalapenos, herring and so forth.
The epitomy of pickledom, in my opinion, is "Ba-Tampte Half Sour pickles". Deliciously crisp and garlicy. In the jar they look very green, almost like a fresh Kirby. Nothing quite like them. Can be found in large supermarkets in the New York metro area. I have no idea if they are available elseware. Worth seeking out.
Love these half sour garlic pickles, the only problem is 3 years ago they were 4.50 a jar and now they are NINE EFFING DOLLARS A JAR... needless to say i don't eat them anymore.
I don't like any pickles except for @Mrs. Pickles.
You can find them in good specialty markets here in Denver. They do spoil somewhat quickly once you open them, but they usually don't last that long.
I'm partial to clausens. I love pickles and will go thru a jar In a few sittings
That's why I grow pickling cucumbers and make my own. Same with bannana pepper rings.
I am sure there is an actual recipe out there on the web, but I just free pour. Take a commercially available jar of dill spears, pour off approximately three ounces and replace with part maple syrup and part bourbon. Shake in red pepper flakes to desired heat level and then give it a few days to marry. Pretty interesting.
Oh lord, yes.
I used to live near a kosher deli that served a relish plate to every customer.
It came before the sandwiches: a metal pizza tray spilling over with pickled cucumbers, beets, and wedges of cabbage. Crisp, tart, free and massive.
Shortly after I moved, I heard that deli closed down, probably bankrupted by its generous relish plate.
Not a week goes by that I don't think about those pickles.

I love dill pickles, not so much any other kind. If you see this in the liquor store and are tempted, just don't. It looked like a good idea this morning, but is the ruination of what might have been a good jar of pickles.
