MRS ELSWOOD Cucumber Spears With Dill, 670 GR

These are my favourite gherkins by a long way.The flavour is sweet and sour, slightly erring towards the sweet, but at only 7.7% sugar, it's not in any way terrible.They are gherkin halves, so are equally great in a sandwich or on a salad.The gherkin juice is simply divine. It makes a fantastic base for a salad dressing. Just mix with mayonnaise and a teaspoon of mustard,give it a good shake, for a lovely creamy dressing.If you're feeling really adventurous, add a tablespoon or two to a Bloody Mary.It makes for a fantastic, summer drink.I hope you found this review helpful.

they are so nice goes with anything

I wasn't sure what to expect with these as the flavour of pickled cucumbers can vary so much depending on the preserving mix. These are the ones I have been looking for. They aren't dominated by vinegar, pepper, chilli etc but just right and far away from being bland.The preserving mix brings out the flavour of what can often be an almost tasteless vegetable.Great accompaniment to most meals especially in the warmer months.Once drained they work superbly in salads and sandwiches too.

Very lovely pickled cucumber "spears". These are lengthwise cut wedges of cucumber. The pickling liquid is not strongly acidic but quite sweet. The cucumber wedges are sweet, crunchy and have a dominance of dill flavouring. Very nice, great with salad and cheese.My only let-down with these is that when first opened they are nice and crunchy but after only a week they start to lose their crunch. The liquid levels drop down below the tops of the spears as the jar starts to empty, which is probably part of the problem. It also means they won't keep so well once they are no longer fully submerged in the pickling vinegar solution. So an opened jar needs eating fairly fast. I think this would be avoidable by buying the jars of cucumber rounds instead of spears, but I like to eat these from the jar as a snack so the spears are a convenient shape for that. Trade off, I guess!

I love this brand of pickled cucumber (gherkins) and find then not to vinegary
