Am I about to reveal to you my choice for the best pickles ever, so get ready for a mouth-watering read. I am a bit of a pickle man. I have shopped most of the local grocery brands but frequently hit stores that stock limited runs of pickles from all over. It's fun to get the later because you know that one jar may be your only chance to taste a regional or foreign pickle. I'll admit, some of the pickles are a challenge, but I've made it to the bottom of each and every jar, never throwing away a pickle in the process.
