I was reading about these pickles in American Test Kitchen and they so far the best in terms of being very crunchy and garlicky and dilly! I love Mt. Olive whole Dill Pickles and Clauson variety and read that Clauson is as good as Boars but for less money. I thought it might be easy to find a store here to purchase the Boars Head product but I have not seen them in this area. Anyone here every see them being sold in your area of the USA. So far I found a store in Cicero, NY but I think the price of a round trip Bus fare plus lodging and dinner ( I just could not eat pickles ) at a hotel for overnight just might be cost prohibitive for me. Any suggestions....

You mention of the brand name Boar's Head rang a bell with me. Kroger's deli sells a whole line of Boar's Head products. Most of their cold cuts are Boar's Head. It sent me to the fridge to check on a jar of dill pickles that I bought for a relish tray on thanksgiving. Sure enough, they were Boar's Head. I have bought them before. I bought the chips before for burgers and sandwiches. They have Boar's Head mustards, horse radish sauce, and the pickles on top of the deli case. I will check the next time I am in Kroger's and see if they have the whole dill pickles.
I don't know if they could be packed in bubble wrap and sent UPS or something. I WILL tell you that the spears were good. There were three left from thanksgiving and now there are only two, hahaha.

I found the Boars Head at that little upscale store on Genesee St. I'll taste then tonight If you like a little spice Hap's sells bread & butter pickles that are spiked with I think, Thai chili peppers. They're excellent. Not too much heat, just enough to let you know it's there. Which reminds me we're out of them. |

Does anyone remember the horse radish pickles in the gallon jars that Zimowski Wholesale use to sell to the bars? I used to get them at Jean's Tavern in Westmoreland back in the 70's before I quit drinking. They would light up your life. Hot hot hot! She gave me a jar from them with the left over brine once and I took it home and picked eggs in it. WOW! The eggs would clear your sinuses too.

I ate the last two spears tonight with supper. They had been there since thanksgiving just taking up space.  I am not a pickle gourmet. I just happened to grab the Boar's Head because I was in the deli end of the store and happened to see them sitting on top of the display case when was headed to the produce section. Save a trip to the other end of the store. I actually like the dills that Kathy made a couple of years ago. They are gone now and I am not planting a garden next year. |
