I became curious about the name, so checked the web, and found this: “Supposedly they got their name because during the Great Depression, they were a cheap staple in households. So people used them in sandwiches of bread and butter because that’s all they could afford.” https://cottageatthecrossroads...-and-butter-pickles/ Possibly correct. Have any of you heard other explanations? Serious about crackers | ||

No but I love them. Wife hates, hates, hates them. Very polarizing is the ole bread and butter pickles. Wife says in the south they are called sweet pickles. Nobody uses the other name. No vinegar. I ain’t gonna argue with her. | |||

My granny made those for me in the 50s, and she learned from her own granny well prior to WW1. My meals in the 60s & 70s weren't complete without 'em. Just in the last 25 years we've added to the 'never run out' inventory. Easy to make for sure. **************~~~~~~~~~~ "I've been on this rock too long to bother with these liars any more." ~SIGforum advisor~ "When the pain of staying the same outweighs the pain of change, then change will come."~~sigmonkey | |||

My mom got me to like pickle sandwiches made with those. Just as named, bread and butter then an even layer of pickles. Mighty refreshing in the summer. | |||

They're on our "You WILL keep them on hand" list here too. I particularly like them on a ham sammich. Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

My mother used to make them, and they are a variety of sweet pickle. Myself, I reserve the term "sweet pickle" to refer to Gherkins, especially the midget ones. (Sweet pickles are the only ones I eat--I hate dill.) flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

North Alabama - grandmother born in 1900 - they were called bread and butter pickles during my childhood in the 70's. They always had a garden, always grew cucumbers and always canned bread and butter pickles - among many other staples from the garden. I can't stand dill pickles, but love the good old bread and butter. “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||

I thought it was a brand name and I figure that's how they made their bread and butter. I know this guy who loves pickles too much, something went wrong with his heart like an attack or something and the outcome is he can't have pickles any more because of the salt. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Love them on a bologna sandwich. “There is love in me the likes of which you’ve never seen. There is rage in me the likes of which should never escape." —Mary Shelley, Frankenstein | |||

Vlassic stackers bread and butters are a fave, but they are NOT what was referred to as ‘sweet pickles’ in my youth. Sweet pickles got used in potato salad and the like. Do not care for dill. -- I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. JALLEN 10/18/18 https://sigforum.com/eve/forum...610094844#7610094844 | |||

Of course, pickles don't have to mean cucumbers....  these red onions with fennel seed are awesome. I have my own style of humor. I call it Snarkasm. | |||

I used to make them when I had a good crop of cucumbers. I had some about 0330 hrs this morning with two roast beef sandwiches _______________________________________________________ And no, junior not being able to hold still for 5 seconds is not a disability. | |||

Wouldn't those be bread and ham pickles? If bread and butter pickles are served on bread and butter sandwiches, should I be concerned that the store is selling baby dills? | |||
