Rickles Pickles

I was surprised to see that someone else beat me to a Rickle’s Pickles review. I mean, who goes to a storefront pickle place in BFE Indiana much less opens a pickle store there? Their website does not even give an address for the outlet.
We happened upon RP on our way to the (closed) Bison Ranch on the other side of town. A VERY ENTHUSIASTIC guy named Kurt, Boyfriend to Dona of the soon-​to-​be-​opened Dona’s Buffet, let us in and gave us more info about Rick (le) and his pickle (s) than I personally cared to have but my (I’m Nuts) husband Steve bonded with Kurt and they talked pickles. Rick (le) now packages his pickles in smaller jars. Thank you Jesus and Rick. We picked up one jar ($ 7) and promised to return when Dona opened her buffet.
The pickles are tasty and unusual. We purchased the chips. They aren’t sweet. They aren’t dill. There is A LOT of garlic involved. Just go to the website and find a local outlet and buy yourself a jar of Rickle’s Pickles.
PS We happened upon the pickle outlet (NO I NOT FREAKIN’ KIDDING — IT SAYS PICKLE OUTLET RIGHT ON THE DOOR!!!) in the outlet mall the night before and purchase $ 50 dollars in pickles and stuff so I was able to keep our RP purchase small. However, I now have $ 57 worth of assorted pickles to store. I think Steve will have an assortment tossed in with his cremains. Maybe sooner than he planned…

This is a small place, but if you’re walking up and down the center of Fremont, IN it’s definitely worth checking out.
The feature is of course their pickles, which are sweet and crunchy and highly worth getting. In the store, they only sell pretty huge jars, but the groceries in town carry them in the deli where you can buy fewer. I bought a jar of pickled jalapenos and a jalapeño/​pickle mustard both of which were outstanding. I shoulda bought more.
The store is actually pretty small, and includes some antiques and other locally made food like jams and jellies. It’s a cute area, though and nice for walking around.
