I had to use google translate on these so I apologize if they are incorrect. These almost want to be sweet, I think it is star anise and I think I see clove in them, which I can kind of taste. I can also taste like the metal of the pickle jar lid, they have a slight metal taste like a fork was left in the jar. It’s not a flavor I care for, like it’s not terrible, but I can eat them. I like the texture. The texture is a generic gherkin. The skin is the same texture as the meat. They’re a little soft, but not squishy they’re not hard they still have a little bit of crunch. I’d be curious to try them after they’ve been in the fridge for a little bit and they’re cold and see if that changes.

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.

Uncle Yiannis Gherkins Cornichons --- Flavor: 4/10 Texture: 6/10 --- I bought these at TJ Maxx and I love the jar! The lady at checkout asked "did you come here just to buy these?" 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.
