Signature Select Baby Pickles Kosher Dill

Signature Select Baby Pickles Kosher Dill --- Flavor: 5/10 Texture: 6/10 --- I bought these as emergency pickles. I went on a trip with some family and they drove me up the wall. I needed something to take the edge off so I left the hotel and bought a quick jar to enjoy. They did the trick and helped me deal with the chaos. Crunchy, good meat to skin texture, no complaints but nothing special.

Wickles Dirty Dill Okra --- Flavor: 5/10 Texture: 6/10 --- These were slightly spicy. Not too spicy that they were off putting, just enough to have the flavor of the pepper. There is a little more slime than I've had in other pickled okra but not near as bad as cooked okra. The skin is a good texture.

  Crisp & Co  Grand Dill Pickles --- Flavor: 5/10 Texture: 7/10 --- Description tons of spices and flavors that are all over the place! They smell like they'd be really sweet but they aren't? I suspect maybe anise or clove, but cant place it. They are tart and make your mouth pucker up.

Mi Lady Bakery Pickle Spear that came with grilled cheese --- Flavor: 5/10 Texture: 2/10 --- The skin on this pickle was so tough! The meat was able to be bit through but when you got to the skin, could not bite through it with my front teeth. Had to use my pack teeth to bite the skin off and even then trying to chew it was like chewing on a piece of rubber and aluminum foil. Flavor would have been enjoyable if the skin wasn't make of NASA space rubber

mario since 1937 greek kalamata pitted olives --- Flavor: 1-1.5/10 Texture: 5/10 --- these were on clerance and I now understand why. They were not sharp and salty like I am used to kalamatas being. They were oily and bland, no real flavor to them. I am glad they were so cheap cause I would have been pissed paying that much for them

Boar's Head Kosher Dill  Pickle Spears --- Flavor: 7/10 Texture: 7/10 --- This is how I remember Claussen tasting back in the day. (I feel like Claussen now use more sugar and have more of a preservative flavor than a brine flavor) These have the old school brine flavor. They are really crunchy and crisp. Flavor is mild but through and enjoyable.I would love to have these on a sub.
