When it comes to pickles, I vastly prefer half sours! I looooove them, but can barely stand full sours. I can usually eat anything, but full sour pickles aren't something I can stomach. I'm gonna try and work half sours into my life more though... man I love those things!
How about you: half sour or full sour?

I had no idea what you were talking about. I thought you were talking about whiskey sours but didn't know what a half whiskey sour was. Then I read pickles and got sad. Would much prefer a whiskey sour to a sour pickle

@NorCalWayfarer: haha same! I love pickles but I've never heard of half or full sour - I like regular dill pickles?

Add me to the bewildered list-- and the whiskey sour preferring group! I do like sour pickles but I have never had them crazy sour so maybe I only like half sour?
McClures are the best-- and they are a Detroit/Brooklyn hybrid so you simply have to try them!

I like spicy dill. Not sweet. I'm not familiar with the sour lingo.

I love pickles but I'm unfamiliar with the half or full sour terminology. I love dill and hate sweet!

I love all pickles but half sours are my favorite. We call them 'new pickles' around here!

Ah oops, here's a definition of the difference from Wikipedia!
<< A "kosher" dill pickle is not necessarily kosher in the sense that it has been prepared in accordance with Jewish dietary law. Rather, it is a pickle made in the traditional manner of Jewish New York City pickle makers, with generous addition of garlic and dill to a natural salt brine.
In New York terminology, a "full-sour" kosher dill is one that has fully fermented, while a "half-sour," given a shorter stay in the brine, is still crisp and bright green. Elsewhere, these pickles may sometimes be termed "old" and "new" dills. >>

I love pickles but especially spicy pickles. I love claussen pickles from the refrigerated section and they just came out with a spicy pickle that is so good!

Bread and butter here. I love restaurant dill pickles though. I need to try some fancy pickles though. DH hates, hates them. I eat his if they show up on his plate.
