kosher dill pickle
Garlic-spiced preserved cucumber
A kosher dill pickle is a cucumber preserved in brine with garlic and dill, prepared according to traditional Jewish methods from New York delicatessens.
The "kosher" designation originally referred to the style of pickling—heavily garlicked and fermented in salt brine rather than vinegar—though it may also indicate preparation under rabbinical supervision.
These pickles are characteristically sour, crunchy, and pungent.
I'll have a Reuben with a kosher dill on the side.
