Pickled Cucumbers

Flavor: 1 or 0 /10

Texture: 6/10

Possibly the worst pickled I have ever tasted. The cucumber taste seamed taste fishy, like licking a gold fish. While trying to eat it there is a semi-sweet taste at the end, it tastes somehow salty and somehow not? Really hard to describe. They had an oily taste, like eating a spoonful of olive oil alone.  
Would never eat again. I like them less the sweet pickles, I would at ajar of sweet pickles over another one of these. I am wondering if they went bad due to travel or if there are extra steps in prepping them or something, because I can’t imagine a pickle being this bad.

Sonoma Brinery All Natural Fresh Pickles The Wedge Dill Spears --- Flavor: 6/10 Texture: 8/10 --- Another Sonoma pickle, gotta compare them to each other while we're here right?! These have a strong flavor, celery seed maybe? The texture is still really cucumber so it has a nice crunch. The skin is consistent, not too soft and not to firm, it doesn't separate from the pickle meat which I like. I like them more than the whole pickles.

I tried explaining my pickle collection and she was not impressed. No special notes, gherkin texture where skin and meat are about the same, they do have a slight sweet flavor but doesn't taste intentional

Tillen Farms Stonewell Kitchen Lemon Dill Pickles Gherkin Spears --- Flavor: 5/10 Texture: 5/10 --- These had a lemon slice pickled in with them in the jar. You can taste the lemon rind. Like you took pickle juice and half-ed it in the jar and added lemon juice as well. Not sour like a lemon. The pickles themselves have a soft texture, skin is soft like the meat. These are not great but I have had worse.
