If you know me well, you'd know that I LOVE super sour, salty, juicy pickles and never dill, sweet, relished pickles. If I think about that pickle taste, my mouth starts watering instantly. I was raised on eating them from all different countries...from America to Europe to Asia. I think it's a Taiwanese thing. When we eat dried plums...we like it super super sour. OH...i used to love those sour candies from Japan too...they were so sour that your face would scrunch up for 3 seconds. Sometimes you would even tear. And in Spain, I loved loved loved the salted fish in vinegar and olive oil.
Well anyway, this past weekend, I went to Brooklyn to check out this Winter Market sale held by Public Assembly because they listed Mary Meyer, and I love Mary Meyer. The trip ended up being a great score. It's not because of the 2 Mary Meyer tees I bought, but because of the 2 jars of pickles I bought from the BROOKLYN BRINE CO.
OMG OMG OMG. THEY ARE THE BEST PICKLES I'VE FOUND IN A LONG TIME. I bought the a jar of the Spicy Cucumbers and their award winning Fennel Beets.
Spicy Cucumbers: Organic cucumbers, Apple Cider Vinegar, Water, Sea Salt, Organic Chile Peppers, Organic Garlic, Natural Spices, Mustard Seeds, Coriander, Caraway, Black peppercorns, Chile Flakes.
Fennel Beets: Organic beets, Red wine vinegar, Water, Sea Salt, Organic & Fairly traded evaporated cane sugar, organic Garlic, Natural Spices, Tarragon, Mustard Seeds, Coriander, Fennel seeds, Black Peppercorns, Chile Flakes.
They're a fairly new company so they're not carried everywhere. But my goodness, they sure do know how to pickle them pickles!
