I, speaking as a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , which qualifies me as an expert have- r of opinions about pickles, do declare, that when perusing your local grocery store, you will encounter no finer pickle than the Ba-Tampte (“Means Tasty”) Half Sour pickle.

Did you !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ...

Ba-Tampte Pickle Products, Inc. specializes in the production and distribution of refrigerated pickles and other condiments in both wholesale and retail packaging. Our products are sold directly to supermarkets, delicatessens and higher-end restaurants in the New York Metropolitan area as well as to supermarkets nationwide via regional distributors. Most of our pickle products can be found in the refrigerated section of your local supermarket.

Ba-Tampte is a family-owned and operated corporation founded in 1955 by Meyer Silberstein. Prior to founding Ba-Tampte, Meyer learned the pickle business from his father and grandfather who ran pickle stands in Manhattan’s Lower East Side and pushcarts in the Lowest East Side. Today, the business is managed by Meyer’s sons, Barry and Howie Silberstein, and grandsons, Scott and Seth Silberstein. While our business may have changed over the last century, many of our pickle recipes have remained exactly the same.

Operating out of the Brooklyn Terminal Market, Ba-Tampte is one of the few remaining “New York” style pickle processors still based in New York. Most other refrigerated pickle processors have moved to other regions of the country. All our pickles are cured and hand-packed in our own facilities. To meet increasing demands, however, we recently increased capacity by installing a state-of-the-art machine to automate much of the pickle-packing process, but the finishing touches are still by hand.

Ba-Tampte prides itself on using only the highest quality ingredients, including “Grade A” kirby cucumbers and premium spices. Our “original brine” Half Sours and Garlic Dill pickles are made with fresh garlic and are 100% naturally fermented.

Ba-Tampte products are currently sold in approximately 40 states. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! for a full list of the supermarkets that sell our products.

Why, pray tell, am I making this announcement in this moment? Because the other day my brother texted me out of the blue to drop his identical pickle opinion on me, and while he is often crazy, he is 100% right on with his scalding hot pickle takes.

All other opinions on this topic are wrong and invalid. Fight attempts will summarily be dismissed. You don’t want to try anyway.

My opinion is that they are better than best. They are terrific. Your statement above says all other opinions (different from yours) are wrong and invalid which says you disagree with me which by your definition is wrong and invalid.

Ba-Tampte are the best supermarket pickles. America Test Kitchen did a supermarket pickle taste test awhile ago and they won as well.

But r eally no reason to get supermarket pickles when Pickle Licious ships :

Their spicy pickle chips are fantastic.

Your opinion is merely a more-superlative escalation of my opinion and therefore is similarly valid.

All opinions claiming claiming that any other widely-available pickles are superior to Ba-Tampte Half Sours are the invalid ones.

You may need to broaden your mind a bit. Tony Paco’s makes several varieties, all very good.

There do be a difference between regular pickles and half sour pickles... if you are comparing ALL pickles to half sour pickles by Ba-Tampte, you are wrong.

If you are comparing only the half sour pickles by ba-tampte to other half sour pickles also, you are wrong.

if you are comparing only the half sour pickles by ba-tampte to other half sour pickles widely available in popular supermarkets, then I agree with you.

All pickles are bad and you should feel bad for liking them.

Half sours are the perfect pickle for when you want to eat 8 pickles, and since you should always want to eat 8 pickles, half sours are the perfect pickle for all pickle eating occasions.
