I agree that jarred pickles such as Vlasic (or even worse, Mount Olive) are inferior.
Fresh pickles such as Flaum’s or Batampte are better than any homemade pickles I’ve tasted.
Of course, the pickles you make are probably the best (I’d be glad to verify that if you want to send me some). I would expect no less.
Although, I must say, I was slightly disappointed that you did not provide your full family pickle-making legacy.
