As a rule, I turn down requests to test new products for the blog, not wanting the place to turn into a free showroom for anyone with something to sell. But when Horman’s New York Deli Pickles offered me free samples for a taste test, well, let’s just say I’ve never met a Dill I didn’t love. And, I reasoned, as long as I’m not prescribing pickles to my patients, the whole thing would be Kosher…
Annie and Marissa agreed to be my impartial tasters, and overall gave the pickles a great big thumbs up.
Bottom Line
- Eat the Kosher Dills straight from the jar. Try to stop after three and leave a few for someone else.
- The Mustard and Spice Dills are a bit strong straight out of the bottle, but perfect for use in a sandwich.
- Pickles are a very low calorie food, but not zero calories as it says on the bottle. More like 8 calories for a medium (65 g) and 16 calories for a large (135 g) pickle.
Horman’s NY Deli pickles are now available from Fresh Direct, which is where I’ll be getting mine. Check their website to find where you might get yours.
If you come back to central Ohio, try to visit Katzinger’s Deli in German Village. Their pickles are amazing; I particularly love the garlic ones.
