Both essentially have the same ingredients and the basic preparation method. Both have a tangy and refreshing taste. Dill pickles are cucumbers pickled with dill.
They have a crisp, tangy, and refreshing taste. They can be eaten straight from the bottle as snacks or with sandwiches. Not all pickles are suitable for pickling. Persian cucumber and Kirby cucumbers are two commonly used varieties for pickling. Moreover, pickles contain a lot of water and very little proteins or fats. Since the salty brine draws out the water from the cucumbers, they have a high concentration of vitamins. Dill pickles can give you Vitamin A, vitamin K, vitamin C, potassium, as well as calcium.
The briny taste that instantly calls to mind cold wintry cabins and warm dinners of meat, beans, and sauerkraut cooked over a fire. That swarthy vinegar taste, so lip-smackingly sour and tart and wonderful at the same time. Okay, a disclaimer — not every pickled food in the world is distinctly Jewish. But after this global survey of kraut, kimchi, and miso, the final chapter all brings it back to the Chosen Folks for the rawest and most unapologetically strong-tasting of all pickled foods: meat, fish, and eggs.
FWIW, pickle manufacturers, "squeaky" is not the look you want when aiming for a perfect pickle. Nor does it have anything to do with dietary guidelines for how they're made in accordance with Jewish law. Kosher dills are pickles made in the old-school New York style that calls for a salt brine with copious amounts of dill and garlic.
So yes, kosher dill simply refers to a dill pickle that has garlic in the brine. We gathered 11 jars of pickles labeled "kosher dill" by the manufacturer, but we did not distinguish between shelf stable and refrigerated varieties. We selected spears whenever available, since that's the kind we're most likely to buy for a backyard party. Due to store availability, in two cases we had to buy pickle halves instead of spears. We were looking for pickles that had a balanced taste—a sharp bite from the vinegar, noticeable garlic flavor, and not overly salty.
A bit of spice was nice too, so long as it wasn't overpowering, and the overall taste couldn't veer too far into sweetness.
We first chilled all unopened pickle jars overnight. This assures Jewish consumers that the pickles they are purchasing are, in fact, kosher. In order for a pickle to be classified as kosher in terms of flavor, it must be made with brine and garlic. The garlic adds to the zesty, slightly spicy flavor of a true kosher pickle made in the style of a Jewish delicatessen. Although the overall numbers of Jewish delicatessens are declining around the world, a fully functioning deli will often pickle an assortment of vegetables to serve with food.
Some pickling companies even specialize in Jewish style pickled foods. Unlike sweet pickles or bread and butter pickles, a kosher pickle is crunchy and zesty.
