Picolos-Texas Gourmet Pickles

I first tasted these pickles in a gift basket I received for Christmas one year. There was only one jar in the basket and when I tasted them I was so disappointed there wasn’t more. I had never seen them in any store, so started searching the internet. Now… I’m addicted! I absolutely cannot get enough of the bread and butter pickles. I absolutely LOVE them. I have never had any other pickle with the same taste or crunchy texture. Ordering some today and hope they get here fast!

I hope you do mail order. I’ll call this week. Your sweet pickles are the best.

Have you ever been in a pickle? (:: :: ?: :: :)
Since 1920’s Classic Bread & Butter pickles and relish have been made in Corsicana and the recipe passed down generations. In 1988 this store opened, after having been a side business of a department store for ages.
Picolos is very small, like a piccolo. (Note: A piccolo (Italian for ‘small’) is a half-​size woodwind flute, rising an octave above that of the flute.) «Because (piccolo) is so loud and high, that single instrument cuts through and can still be heard clearly above everything else.» — ref.
There are just a couple of racks of jars (there were less than an octave number of shelves) and a counter with someone to take your order and another to wrap ‘em up.
I was in a pickle. I needed a gift on the way back from Dallas. Buy here or try for something else down the road?
Are these so much better than you can get in a store? I tasted a sample of their Bread & Butter sliced pickles, their most popular item. Great «sweet and tangy crunch» taste! Clearly better than store-​bought ones I’ve had (but I am not an aficionado).
So, I bought a jar, even though they seem quite expensive, unless you buy in volume (like a restaurant). Note: They do more online sales than store-​front sales.
Other flavor notes:
— Pickles & Jalapenos
— Hamburger Dills
— Piccolo Reds (the classic recipe with the added kick of a Cajun hot sauce)
(:: :: Chris Christie: :: :) found himself ‘in a pickle’ with the closing of the bridge scandal. But getting out of a pickle is a politician’s «Bread and Butter». So, no evidence was found linking him to the decision.
(:: :: Hillary Clinton:: : :) is ‘in a pickle’. She wants to run for President, but does not want to be held accountable in any way for the deaths of Ambassador and 3 soldiers at Benghazi Embassy on 9-​11-​2012. So, as in making pickles, she and her defenders do everything they ‘can’ to cover up (like vinegar on pickle in jar), put a lid on it (screw top jar), and shelve it for as long as necessary.
How about you? Are you in a pickle? Get them from Picolos.
Sing along to this old German Folk song! … «I am a fine musician» (from Dick Van Dyke Show:
)
I am a fine musician,
That’s what the people say
And all the children follow me,
When they hear me play
My piccolo, my piccolo
They love to hear my piccolo
