Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
The Boston Globe's food section got a bunch of people to taste test six brands of kosher dill pickles and give their opinion. The comments for Claussen range from "tastes like it came out of storage" to "an oyster in a pickle's body." And mind you, Claussen was the winner of the taste test.
The Globe also tested Vlasic, Mt. Olive, Boar's Head, Ba-Tampte, and Cains, and none of the brands blew the tasters away. Every single pickle tasted got a lot of negative comments, it's just that Claussen got the least amount of negative comments.
Personally, I like a lot of these pickles. I've never tasted Ba-Tampte, but the comment that it tasted like "gasoline" reminded me of one of my favorite Andy Griffith Show episodes, where Aunt Bee makes the pickles that no one likes. What do you buy when you want a dill pickle?

Whole Foods Market sells some pickles that look promising, but I have yet to try them.

but you can't beat the huuuuuuuge barrels of dill pickles in random general stores, or on the NY streets.

A favorite of Jamie Farr's from M*A*S*H! Restaurant is in Toledo, Ohio' but pickles do travel! Enjoy! Sweet Hots are very tasty pickles with a kick, other varieties available too. Bet they would've garnered some positive comments from the survey!

oddly enough, I've yet to find them in a grocery in NYC, but they do have them Upstate and I stock up everytime I'm up there
they pack a wonderful vinegary and highly garlicky punch!

(it's a canadian company)
