The go-to, everyday pickles that I would suggest to a beginner in the realm of pickles are Lidl's Cornichons with Honey. They are sweet, bite-sized creations that retain the tangy nature of a gherkin.
On the other hand, my more irregular fixation is quite the polar opposite. The Van Holten pickles, large pickles served in a bag, are perfect bought alongside your favourite hot crisp (I would suggest Takis). Then, dig out some of the insides of the pickle and place your chosen hot crisp inside (side note: I recommend doing this alone). The sour and spicy combination can only be compared to fireworks on your tongue.
Moreover, the versatility of the pickle extends into drinks. The Pickleback is a notorious Brooklyn drink so simple it only has two ingredients: whiskey and pickle juice. First, take your shot of whiskey, then follow it with a sweet shot of pickle juice; perfect every time.
The enjoyment of the gherkin comes in many shapes and textures and allows for incredible, unique experiences each time.
