I'd rather eat the cucumber...although a dill, preferably a Polski Wyrob, as a side with a killer Ruben sandwich is a pretty good combination.

What?? No sour pickles??? This poll is invalid!
I don't like pickles really but what about sweet mustard pickles? Or is that just a Canadian thing?
Years ago, we had a jar of "Glow Babies" spicy pickled carrots. They were amazingly good, wish I could find them somewhere...
When I go to visit my Mom's family in Oregon, her brother always sends me home with a care package. It includes Dill pickles, Hot Spicy Dill pickles and Hot Spicey Pickled String Beans.
I know what you're probably thinking- and don't knock them until you try them. They're crunchy and amazing.

When I think of pickles, fried pickles from Bill Pickles is the first thing that comes to mind.
My Mom used to make killer brine pickles. Part of the recipe was celery sticks in each jar. I liked the celery even better than the pickles.
I like virtually all styles of pickles and other things besides cucumbers that are pickled. I don't however care for cucumbers. I think one summer a co worker had so many in their garden and I ate so many I lost my appetite for them.
For years (nay, for decades!) I thought these magnificent "White Spot" pickles were some kind of closely-guarded secret recipe. Then I moved to Russia, and soon afterwards discovered that the world-beating White Spot dills were in fact generic garden-variety "Ukrainian Salted Pickles". And - that actual Moscow-style "Russian" dill pickles are bizarre and outlandish things...
But what about Kimchi? Or are we not counting the Korean mades?
Depends. With a burger or a Reuben, dill. But with a pulled pork sammich, sweet.
Consider the gherkins, a baby pickle is a gherkin. Some would say that they are the veal of the pickle world. Others would say that they are pickles for impatient people who cannot wait for the pickle to mature or those with diminutive appetites. Consuming baby pickles, otherwise known as picklephelia is strictly taboo in polite societies. Most stores don't even stock them on the shelves and customers who buy them have been know to wear disguises or drive to neighboring towns so they will not be recognized by friends and neighbors.
Although the desire to consume gherkins is generally looked down upon, recent studies have shown that it is not a life choice but a disease. We should practice compassion and show pity for those among us who are compelled to lock the door, draw the blinds, and dive into a jar or two of gherkins. They know not what they do.

Wow does that look good. When I clicked on this thread my back fat started tingling like mad....now I know why
Yeah, smoked meat and bagels are very much Montreal specialties. There's also the infamous poutine, though it's usually better outside of Montreal, in my opinion - rural Quebec does poutine much better than the big city. There's nothing quite like having a poutine after a night out drinking. My recovery time from such events has dramatically increased now that I'm over 40, though.
CAUTION TO ALL PICKLE EATERS, REGARDLESS OF FLAVORING:
If you are cutting them into slices for a sandwich or something and drop a slice on the floor them things are slicker than a banana in a cartoon.
I found that out the hard way.
Yup, just like a cartoon. Splat!
Done it twice.

Maybe ACME isn't the best place to order pickles.
I probably shouldn't even say I know about this, but pickled baby corn. It's like something in a deranged scientist's laboratory.
My Uncle also sent me home with a nice supply of Smokefish. (Smoked Salmon; he's Finnish, and that's his culinary hobby, so to speak.)
I can't wait to bust that out for my friends, when we can put this social distancing thing behind us.
