Whats the difference between dill, kosher, polish, gherkin, and bread & butter pickles?
Dill Pickle Originally made with fresh dill weed, today dill oil is added by commercial manufacturers Kosher Dill Pickle These pickles may or may not be kosher, but the term refers to a “kosher style” flavor profile. This means that a large amount of garlic has been added to the brine at the end of fermentation, giving them a much more robust flavor than regular dill pickles. Polish-Style Dill Pickle A garlicky pickle, similar in flavor profile to the kosher dill pickle. Gherkin A gherkin is not only a pickle of smaller size, but also a particular species of cucumber—the West Indian or Burr cucumber (Cucumis anguria), which produces a somewhat smaller fruit than the garden cucumber (Cucumis sativus). Bread & Butter Pickle A type of sweet pickle with a sweet-and-tangy profile. http://thenibble.com/…/pickle-glossary.
