Garlic-free dill pickles taste funny. The absence of garlic didn't register immediately as lack-of-something; it seemed as though there was an extra, very strange flavour. Curious, I took a closer look at the label on the jar, and things became clear. (Yes, of course this was an accidental puchase. If I'd known such things existed on the market, I would've paid more attention to the little "garlic free" flag stuck between two larger words, and reached for a different jar.)

(And in unrelated news, a wee update re: yesterday: Wow do my legs hurt. Not going for long walks today. Errands will have to wait.)

The worst dill pickles I ever had were garlic-free and low-salt. What's the friggin' point?! (I didn't buy them; a friend's mother served them to me years ago.)

Dill pickles usually have garlic?

And horseradish, if you've been very good...

What kind of dill pickles do you eat? :)

I think garlic as in the "natural flavours" category.

As it turns out, Kosher dills are specifically garlicky. :D
