Sweet? Sweet gherkins? Dill? I've got a picnic salad recipe that needs them.

As I knew them growing up they are a mildly sweet sliced pickle.

Just go buy a jar. Dills and B&B are about the only kinds of pickles you can find most places.

Why is knife not spelled nife? Who gives a %uck, they're delicious! Call them a cat turd and I'll still eat them. Not as sweet as a sweet pickle and not as tangy as a good dill. I don't know this for a fact, but it might come from the depression era when my grandparents were married. They would eat almost anything on a slice of bread and butter. Pickles, cucumbers, radishes, etc. When you don't have meat, you make other things work.

According to egullet.com, bread and butter pickles are named such because during the Depression, they were as regular a part of a diet as bread and butter. The difference between bread and butter pickles and sweet pickles is just a few ingredients. Sweet pickles use cinnamon, cloves, and allspice in a vinegar-sugar brine. Bread and butter pickles are made with turmeric. mustard, and onion in a vinegar-sugar brine. I looked for a definitive answer from some kind of pickle-expert, but wasn't able to find one. It seems as though the history of the name of Bread and Butter pickles is carried on through tradition

Are they ever made "whole"? I've only ever seen them sliced across.

the old family recipe I use calls for them to be sliced. The recipe also allows that they can, and were, made as often from green tomatoes as from cukes.
The recipe calls for thin sliced onions, vinegar, sugar, celery seed, mustard, ginger, tumeric, mace and red pepper.

I love Dill pickles, but B&B are my favorite. I could sit an eat an entire jar!
I'd rather have a bad day hunting than a good day working!

I won't touch a b&b pickle. Give me spicy, garlicky dills, preferably from these folks. They make a lot of good stuff. http://www.kruegermann.com/products/products.html

I like those, too, but I did pick up some B&B pickles today. They are delicious and I recognize the flavor, but it would have to be from when I was a kid.

My wife makes killer bread and butter pickles. Once a jar is opened it's life span is measured in minutes.
