Best for flavour, texture and size
Lovely flavour, crisp and sour and sweet at the same time. I was not a fan until i tried these and now can just eat the jar. Usually they go with homemade burgers, and just to make sure there is enough i add a few extra.
Not bad for the readies..
Good Gherkins but slightly rubbery. A good price for what you get. To the reviewer struggling to get this open here's a tip. Smack the centre of the lid with something (handle of a screwdriver etc) and its easy to get off.
Crisp and tasty
I've never tried these large gherkins before but I shall buy these now. Crisp, large and very moreish. We both have become fans, eat them with cheese and salads and often on their own.
Terrible
The flavour and quality is terrible. I’ve never thrown away Gherkins, until now.
My new favourite gherkins
Nice and crunchy. Smaller than the Dawtona ones I usually buy but these are lower carbs and taste the same. I have been converted.
The worst gherkins ever.
I bought these because the cheap branded ones - which were superb, btw - were discontinued. These are the worst gherkins I've ever tasted - hard skinned (or is it bark?), chewy rather than crunchy, tart & very bitter. Zero stars, if it were possible. I definitely won't be buying them again.
Love it and how to open Jars help included!
I love them! They are not as strong as pickles in the USA which can be a bit overwhelming sometimes. I like sweet as well as dill and it has a nice combination. As far as opening the jar: I tap the lid gently but firmly with the back of a butter knife 1-3 times. It does not take much force. You can then very carefully lift the edge of the lid and pop the seal without damaging your knife! You will hear the pop when the seal breaks! Other options are running the lid under warm water to help loosen the seal, then using a towel or rubber grip after. I hope these ideas help you with your jars in the future!!
I eat Gherkins whole as a snack, love 'em (usually
I eat Gherkins whole as a snack, love 'em (usually). These Gherkins are very tart and slightly bitter to the taste. The Gherkins themselves are very tough and rubbery........Not a good Gherkin. Will not buy again.
