I love what we call baby dill pickles in the states. They are salty and taste of dill. I tried to buy some here in France.
The jar I bought was labeled Petis Croquants Aigres-Doux which translates to little bittersweet crunchy. I ate one and I thought I would never eat another in 100 years. I told some people at the lab about my experience with pickles, and they told me this is how pickles are commonly served in France. Today I ate a few more. I'm trying to like them. I take responsibility for not being happy with the purchase. I made it with free will. Still the jar has a plastic lift so you can easily get pickles without having to put your fingers in the juice. What does this say about the pickles?
I'm tired so I decided to leave work early and take a nap. Naps are important.
Someone nice : it's me ☺️
ReplyDeleteDan, it is said that we never like the really good things first. When I came to France and tasted "cornichon" the first time, I did not like it and I missed the one I can by in Hungary. But for now I became a big fan of the french cornichon and I can easily eat a half bottle of that in one day sometimes. I suggest you to try the "Maille" brand, I think they have the best ones.
ReplyDeleteKalman,
DeleteI will try the brand you recommend. I can eat a half jar a day also if I like them. Thanks for the tip.

Dan, next time you should try the 'classical' pickles and not the aigre doux ones. I agree with Kalman the Maille brand is famous.
ReplyDeleteJust let us know if the next ones are better.
