Mt. Olive makes good pickles and they are cheaper than Vlasic’s. They are celebrating their 100th year as a company and I am glad to see they are taking a positive stand on this issue.

It's always nice to see a company you support doing the right thing. So often it's not the case.

They have some that are just right - not too mild and not too hot.

They just got added to my shopping list!

Yup.
Mt. Olive. They can stay.

Are they a national company? Because I sure would give them my business.

ETA: I looked them up and they're at Kroger and Meijer so a jar of their pickles will be on my next shopping list.

Very tart and vinegary -- just how I like 'em!

I tried Grillo's since so many people had been talking them up lately, but was quite disappointed...

Who was responsible for the display of the confederate flag?

Maybe I missed it.

the fascist GOP wants to eliminate any references to SLAVERY because it "makes America look bad", but they want to display that POS flag at the "GREAT AMERICAN STATE FAIR" ?????

THAT IS SOME SERIOUSLY FUCKED UP SHYTE RIGHT THERE

and they very much need a second beatdown

..fuck traitors!

Wish I wasn't watching my sodium intake, otherwise, I'd buy some Mt. Olive pickles.

Nice decision for their 100th anniversary

Back in 1926, local business leaders established the Mt. Olive Pickle Company to create a new market for area farmers. They chose to name it for their small hometown of Mount Olive, located in rural Eastern North Carolina. Today, nearly 100 years later, Mt. Olive is the #1 best-selling brand of pickles, peppers and relishes in the U.S.

and near Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro. Every year they host the North Carolina Pickle Festival in Mt Olive, which is a great deal of fun and is well attended, so they know a thing or two about what should or shouldn't be in a state fair.

Thanks

Their address is at the corner of Cucumber and Vine.

LOL. Tell me another one.

It was likely one of the other sponsor's slide show. I've read several news stories and the sponsor who made the slide show wasn't named, but I saw a Helo logo displayed on the same screen in one news story.

"Three businesses — SPEVCO, Richard Childress Racing, and Operation Helo — have stepped up to be the primary sponsors of the North Carolina pavilion" from https://www.carolinajournal.com/sponsors-step-up-as-nc-officially-sits-out-america-250-fair/

I always try to support the companies that make a difference.
Thank you Mt. Olive Pickle Co., and Happy 100th Birthday!

bothering to check what they were doing - or some execs didn't care enough about who they were dealing with.

Unil I read more about how they got into this mess in the first place, I think I'll stick with Claussen when I buy pickles.

Once they saw reports from social media they withdrew.

due to costs so the businesses in the state contributed to a booth promoting North Carolina businesses. That was when they saw a video showing the confederate flag.

Mt. Olive and Claussen are of the very few pickles not made in India now.

I buy a lot of their products.

Time to put this family’s pickle love behind a brand that stands on decency & principles.

But not Mt. Olive. They are one of the few besides gourmet brands that are made in the US.

More power to ya, Mt Olive...

Happy Birthday!!!

“My heritage!” Is what defenders of hate say.

since the whole aim of this thing was to recreate an all white, all Republican, fake upper midwestern MAGA campaign event.

I still expect there to be enough attendance over the weekend to call it a crowd, but just. People will want to sho up for the fireworks even if the cornball fake state fair turns them off.

I bought a large jar of dill pickle sandwich slices and a large jar of jalapenos, both Mt Olive brand. Glad to know I am helping support a company that supports American values.

jar and poured over with hot apple cider vinegar, sugar, peppercorns, a little salt and dill weed. Sometimes I'll add baby carrots and red onion. They're done in six hours. Deeeeee-lish !!!!

Thanks for the recipe, Exp! I just might have to try it!

Put “everyday cukes in a big jar and poured over with hot apple cider vinegar, sugar, peppercorns, a little salt and dill weed. Sometimes I'll add baby carrots and red onion. They're done in six hours. Deeeeee-lish !!!!”

1 x 8-9" Cuke unpeeled, cut 1/4'd or 1/6th lengthwise, then halve the lengths to fit the jar ( I use old Claussen sauerkraut jar)
Put slices upright in an old pickle jar.
Stuff in red onion half-rings if you like
Add baby carrots, halved lengthwise, if you like.
Add in two small coined garlic cloves

While cold, add 3 to 2 vinegar to water into the jar of cold cukes (+) to get a good measurement of how much to boil in a sauce pan. Pour back into saucepan.

Don't overdue the amount of liquid b/c the dill and peppercorns might then not make it into the jar.
You can always add a tad more hot vinegar or water before you seal with the lid.

Dissolve sugar, salt as liquid mix warms.

Add to boiling liquid::
Dill weed ( i use dry)
Peppercorns

Pour the hot liquid mix into the stuffed jar.
Put the screw lid on and shake a bit.
Let stand til room temp, refrigerate.

Done in a few hours. Yeeeeum!

So CHEAP, too!

good quality and a little less expensive. Happy to keep them in my kitchen.

Now I want pickles, lots of pickles.
