Scout, I'll agree that Claussen's and Vlasik are good pickles, maybe even great pickles. But they just don't have the taste or feel of a real home made pickle. I'd even wager that a lot of folks wouldn't even like Ba-Tampte pickles because they are too fresh and too much like a real homemade pickle.

Their New Kraut might be perfect to make that coleslaw PIA remembers so fondly. If the jar of kraut outlasts the corned beef I'll give it a try.


Good coffee, good weed, and time on my hands...
