We all love a good pickle with our sandwich or just to snack on.
Half-sour, full-sour or dill, everyone has their favorite. But
who are the people behind the pickle? JTA's Uri Fintzy visited the
United Pickle factory in the Bronx and The Pickle Guys store in the
Lower East Side of Manhattan and witnessed the pickling process, found
out about the Jewish connection and revealed a secret about the actual
"Kosherness" of the Kosher pickle.
In the course of the interview with the pickle people, secrets of pickle making and answers to long standing questions about this consummate Jewish delicacy began to emerge. Watch the video below to find out:
- Is a kosher dill pickle really kosher?
- Why do pickles have a Jewish connection?
- How do you make different pickle flavors?
- What about pickling at home?
- Why do pickles go so well with a sandwich?
Enjoy!

The pickle guys didn't answer my burning question: What's the difference between a full-sour and a dill pickle? Jewish Humor Central mavens, please come to my aid! Thank you. Sharon
ReplyDeleteMy late husband was a "Pickle Man" and he told me they used a liquid dill flavoring in the brine to make the dill pickles. It is not used in the full or half sour version.
