Now, we do like a juicy wally (gherkin) with our cod 'n' chips, but necking the brine they are packed in is another thing. Our American cousins have some...
All time favorite of mine. Love at first slup... The Irish (West Cork) is ok here. Bourbon (bonded) is tops for me. Rye (tried with Sazerac brand) seems appropriate (but bonded, and the 'spicier' the better, instead), and was almost as good as with bourbon. I'm using the brine from my jar of Ba-Tampte Half Sour pickles out of Brooklyn. On point. It's all about the spice.
