Since 2030 B.C., people have loved to pick a peck of pickles. Different ingredients and pickling methods are what separates the dill spears from the bread and butter chips. According to this pickle primer, dill pickles are made with -- you guessed it! -- the herb dill or an extract of dill to provide their classic flavor. The best dills are either made by the traditional slow pickling process or cured. Kosher dill pickles simply have garlic added. Bread and butter pickles are a type of sweet pickle that has vinegar, sugar, and spices added to the mix. Most recipes
for this variety include celery seed, mustard seed, turmeric, onions, and sometimes green or red peppers for a bit of tang. Pickle packers have hundreds of recipes for different flavors of preserved cukes, and because one company's country pickle is another's bread and butter, we suggest you discover the differences for yourself by taking a chomp or two.
