McClure's Garlic Dill Pickle Spears

I really like these pickles. They were recommended by a friend, and I was not disappointed. The flavor is great, and they are nice and crunchy.

I found the best pickles ever they are by Jimmy Johns, however because the Jimmy Johns founder Jimmy Liautaud is a Rhino and Elephant murderer I felt the need to #boycottJimmyJohns and never support his business again. I have been on the hunt for a pickle as good, and have yet to find it, BUT this brand McClures has got to be one of the most disturbing of all so far, it taste like cucumbers "no not pickled" just soft cucumbers in vinegar and the wretched taste it left in my mouth even thinking about it right now makes me want to puke. Save your money this stuff is gross.

I must first inform you that I ordered two jars of McLure’s garlic dill pickles. When my order arrived it was one jar of garlic dill and one jar of sweet and spicy, what I call bread & butter pickles. Don’t know if it was a boo-boo on your part, or if I got the last jar of garlic dill. At any rate I was super happy to learn how good the “bread & butter” were. Some times things happen got the better. That was the case in this instance. I have not tried the garlic dills as of this writing, but I am giving then five stars based on what I have tried. I strongly urge all pickle lovers to try McLure’s pickles. Maybe a bit pricey, but in the long run well worth the price when compared to your store shelf pickles. Yes, I recommend them highly, and will buy them again after my supply has run out. P.S. I only rate items when they are out of the ordinary and worth taking the time to do so. That tells you what I think of McClure’s pickles.

These are good pickles. Despite being shipped in the middle of the summer and thus enduring summer heat until I could get them into my fridge, they are crisp. Ingredient list is nice and short, and nothing artificial. Quite tasty too. So why do I only give them four stars, and state for many this is a five star product? Personal preference. I know the label didn't say "kosher dill" but I was hoping for basically something similar to let's say (to use a national brand to keep things simple and due to my limited experience) a Claussen kosher dill, but without the additives that Claussen now has. (They don't have a lot, but they do have some, and Claussen even now adds a tiny bit of HFCS for some odd reason). The crispness is very much there, but these have for me a strong vinegar flavor first, then a small amount of garlic and dill. Take out most or all of the vinegar, and up the dill and maybe the garlic, and it would be five star for me. For those that like more of a "vinegary" flavor with a pickle, this is very much a five star product.

The taste was very good, the only thing that prevented me from giving it a higher rating was I ordered it July 26 and didn’t arrive until Aug 6 with 2 day Prime! That’s a crazy amount of time for a jar of pickles. No where in the description did it say I had to wait for them to first grow the cucumbers .

These pickles have a great pickle flavor but I found the a little mushy and overly salty

Unless you like the taste of white vinegar, you should pass on purchasing these pickles. After paying sixteen dollars for one jar, I'm not only disappointed but disgusted! The taste of vinegar is so strong, it will open your sinuses for sure! No hint of garlic that I could detect.

I bought them because I saw them on the Food Network show "Best Thing I Ever Ate" where Ted Allen (Chopped) recommended them. He was right, they ARE THE BEST PICKLE I ever ate! Sorry but, the other reviewer about the show's recommendation must have gotten an old or bad batch. He REALLY is missing out! Just wished a local store carried them. The closest one is in another state. But, they are well WORTH ordering through the mail!!! Thanks Ted!
