Big dills are the best.

I LOVE PICKLES! Jewish and Bread & Butter pickles! Walking home from school, we would pass a little butcher shop that always had a big wooden barrel full of Jewish pickles for 5 cents each, my buddy and I would buy one, cut it in half and eat it before we got home. It's a wonder we never got sick, but we didn't!

Kosher Dills are the only ones for me.
Nice crunch and perfect flavor.
My favorite restaurant used to serve them with my BLTs and Burgers.
Someone switched suppliers and now they are junk.
Now I don't even want them, at least everything else there is tops.

Best place to buy kosher sour dills is the lower east side of Manhattan in the wooden barrels.... yum!

My introduction to Kosher Dills was back in the 1950's, out of the barrel in Brooklyn, Jewish deli.

My reference was to an episode of the Andy Griffith show where aunt B makes pickles to enter into the county fair contest. Apparently her pickles tasted like they were marinated in kerosene.

Remember when Granny on Beverly Hillbillies tried to sell her recipe for piccalilli to a big company?

My grandmother made better dill pickles than anyone, even the jewish deli, I believe.

Guss' Pickles! They left the lower east side at least a decade ago but they were the best.

I haven't had a knish in 50 years but I can still taste the delishousness.
The good ones were from the vendor who pushed his cart around our neighborhood.
Just a bit of brown mustard and lightly salted, mmmmmmmmm.

Best bagels, lox, knish, latke, rugelach, brisket, shakshuka, etc. I ever had were at various delis in Skokie Illinois, back in the day (1970s). You can never go hungry in Skokie, believe me. And it's really hard to lose weight when you live nearby.

You would think it was the same growing up in Brooklyn NY.
But back then I had the metabolism of a hummingbird.
I even tried specialized diets to get my weight over 110 lbs but nothing worked.
Wish I could say that now.

That’s why you can’t keep Jewish people in jail….. it’s because they eat lox.

That's bad. Really bad.

Now you've done it, I going to stop typing and head to the local cafe for bagels and Lox.

Just got back from my cafe, everything bagel, with on the side, lettuce, tomato, onions and capers.
I hope I didn't spoil dinner.
