In A Pickle
This weekend Scott and I enjoyed a lovely visit from my mom. We walked, laughed and ate a lot as we showed off cool spots in D.C., Annapolis and Baltimore.
One of the best spots food-wise was D.C.'s Eastern Market. On Saturday it was all a-abuzz despite the clouds and rain, with lots of people out and about. Stomachs grumbling, we hit the crepe stand - Scott for ham and cheese, Mom for the Margherita with tomato and basil, and I for the prosciutto, olives and feta. They were super-tasty but on the small side, so to add to our lunch we hit the Pickle man, In a Pickle.
Scott chose a mixed pint of usual kosher dills and some spicy garlic. I found them to be not as exciting as their reputation declares them to be. Quite honestly, I love Vlasic kosher dills. I know, commercial brand, but they have a great "snap" to them and have the right salty/sour combination.
Are there any other pickle fans out there? Which are your favorites?

I love the Pickle Man!!! The best ones he sells are the half done, or 3/4... they are a little crunchier and don't go gooey whilst sitting in the fridge. Also, his Sauerkraut is amazing. Just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteI came back to the pickles last night and changed my mind. Pretty damn good - maybe I mixed it with something on my palate that day that didn't fly the first time.
