Cucumbers are one of my favorite veggies, so you can imagine how much I love great pickles. And today I discovered I could get delicious pickles just around the corner from my apartment! This afternoon I bought a mixture of “full sour” and “three-quarter sour” pickles from my local pickle seller, Dr. Pickle, who operates a small booth at my neighborhood farmer’s market.

The full sour variety was a little less crunchy than I prefer, but the flavor was intense and could not be passed up. The three-quarter sour had the perfect snap when biting into them, but were a little less pickled, giving them a more subtle vinegar flavor. I thought the blend of the two would balance out nicely.

In addition to selling barrels of pickles at a variety of NYC farmer’s markets and street fairs, Dr. Pickle also sells through mail order. So if you also have an affinity for vinegar-soaked veggies, give Dr. Pickle a try!
