Evening all!

As title says, has anyone found American style dill pickles over here in the UK?

Can only seem to find cucumbers and less tasty options. Want some tasty pickles to pop into some burgers!

Cheers, and sorry for the very OT post.

Or the Polish pickles from large Tesco stores.

My favourites are Krakus (Polish). I don't know how they compare with American.

The Polish ones are cheaper and as good if not better.

(This is not pickled - You should try the Tesco Polish cow tripe which is very nice [url= https://www.tesco.com/groceries/product/details/?id=265838906 ]Pamapol Flaczki W Rosole 500G[/url] )

There are also other pickles from Chinese supermarket from Asia which are very good.

Korean kimchi sesame leaf pickles are very nice but expensive.

Make your own. Quick pickle takes about 10-15 minutes. I like this recipe:

Presumably American picklers came from Europe 150 years or so ago so you should be OK with east European pickles.
