Exactly. I don't much care for cooked vinegary pickles, I'll eat some
but I really don't like them enough to go out of my way to eat any, I
don't remember ever buying any, the closest I've come is the very rare
jar of sweet pickle relish and hotdog relish... however once I start
on good crisp half sours I'll finish an entire gallon jar full in one
sitting. But I do like cucumber salad (a la 2nd Ave. Deli), thinly
sliced raw cukes in seasoned vinegar. When my garden is humming
there's nothing like cuke salad with fresh picked young kirbys.
