I'm loving this because I love B&B pickles which I've been making most of my adult life and my mother and grannies made before me. But I prefer mine sliced horizontally, not vertically. Why? I dunno, that's the way we always did it. On a personal note, I think the sliced onion is almost as important as the cukes themselves. But where or where did you get the misperception that these originated in the South? Yet another attempt to wrest culinary glory from New England?
Ha! Jean Anderson wrote something about the sweetness of pickles and relishes in general being more typical in the south. But who really knows where anything originated? I know it was Illinois where they were trademarked, not New England.
