No. I didn't miss the point but you seem to have missed *my* point. I can
find no large homestyle pickles of any brand and that is what this person
wants. I'll even order a case online if that's what it takes. I just can't
find them.

It's not for me. It's for someone else. I asked the person to do me a
favor and they are. But they asked me to do them a favor and see if I can
find these pickles for another person because those are the only pickles
that other person likes. Yes, another person pickier than me! I will eat
most any pickles unless they have a lot of garlic or heat to them. Not that
I eat pickles often. I don't. I do like them. Just never think to eat
them. Except for the other night when I spent hours searching. Then I
really wanted some and ate the last of my dills. Had to buy more. Bought
Sweet Creek Farms.
