Bought a store-brand jar of B&B spears. Tried a few and noticed a distinctive crappy flavor. Checked the label...contains "sucralose"...artificial sweetener...
some are better than others...was an older gal around here that made ones that i thought were two or three steps above any other.....she never would tell me her recipe and has since passed on

Bread and butter pickles are just a recipe for a sweet sour pickle. They got the name "bread and butter" during the great depression when fresh cucumbers were eaten for lunch with bread and butter, and a cheap source of what was considered a vegetable back in the day.
I'm not a fan myself but the wife loves them. I'm more of a dill pickle or spicey pickle guy.
