Oh Mark .... you missed them in the spring! I think there was a pickle shortage in NC after we got done chowing down on those delicious treats. I HATE pickles with a passion that can't be explained, but Ruth Winchester made me try them - to my extreme surprise they were AWESOME! Oh wait, there are way more people coming this time .... they might run out of pickles .... the pickles were terrible! Terrible, I say!! Stay away from them if you value your gastrointestinal fortitude!!!
