said was NOT to use "bread and butter". I don't think I've ever bought pickles in my life other than one dill pickle, once.

Can someone tell me a good brand to use for frying?

 
Whole dill pickles, preferably small probably. Bread and butter is a preparation.

any brand is fine.

 
Fried pickles! use dill not sweet and small whole, slices, spears etc. (more)

Thank you both. This is what I get for saying *Give me ideas!* Who knew one of them was

pregnant and craving pickles! It's such a cliche that I thought she was spoofing me at first.

 
Alrighty! Fried Pickle Taste Test at the library today: Beer Batter versus Batter...batter.

From what I've read (and we all know that anything you read on the Internet is Holy Gospel AND has been rigorously tested and proven by Swedish Nobel-winning scientists), the alcohol should burn off at high frying temperatures.

But, just in case, I'm giving Miss Pregnant Librarian an option.

Bought whole Boar's Head dill pickles and will slice them into coins.
Darice, I'm using your batter versus the beer batter from "Smoke & Pickles" by Edward Lee.
Since I've NEVER HAD THESE BEFORE, I can't even speculate how this will go, but the key words were "must be served immediately."

Lee says the only appropriate dipping condiment is ketchup.
MPL requested ranch dressing.
I'm going to bring some harissa just in case.

Plus lots of paper towels, my induction burner, digital thermometer and the Grace of God that I don't burn down the library.

Oh, how every Fahrenheit 451 of me.

 
Well, that was a complete bust. Carried everything in, made 2 different batches, preferred Darice's

But left off the panko as I wasn't sure what to do with them.

Anyway, both looked very good and I asked another librarian in the break room to ask MPL to come back and taste them since all instructions said to EAT IMMEDIATELY.

She came back and said MPL was assigned to desk and couldn't leave it.

Bummer. I left her a dinner plate full, marked with Beer Versus Milk and two dipping (ketchup and ranch).

They were getting soggy as I stood there. And I burnt my arm on the spider. What a waste.

I'll go back tomorrow to get my hot oil and induction burner.
