Thomas J  McCabe
Claussen New York Deli Style Half Sours are one of the "Wholes" varieties of pickles made by Claussen. Recently, I had the opportunity to try these pickles and I'm glad I had the opportunity. These pickles offer a pleasing flavor that is similar to the flavor of the half sour pickles served at delis in New York City.

Taste / Flavor
To me, Claussen New York Deli Style Half Sours taste like the pickles sold at real delis. They are cool, refreshing and elusive, with a garlic and cucumber flavor.

When I ate these pickles recently, they were cut into quarters and I only placed one on my plate. After tasting and eating that pickle slice, I ate two more quarters. The flavor offered by these pickles is very satisfying.

On a flavor scale of one through ten, I would assign these pickles a rating of 9.25.
