There was a place in North Topeka called Porubsky's Deli. They served greasy chili and made their own hot pickles. The recipe was simple: You get a jar of basic dill pickles, save the brine. Cut the pickles up into bite size chunks. Add a half cup of prepared horseradish and a teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the brine. Mix that all up, put the pickles back in the jar and cover with the brine mix. Let it germinate for a few days in the fridge. And you have Porubsky's hot pickles. Claussen makes their own brand hot pickles. Do you make your own, or just get store bought? Or do you avoid them? Or do you do other things with a cucumber? I'm sure there will be a wide scope of utility here on the CP.

His mama said "Merkin,"
Stop jerkin' your gherkin.
Your gherkin's for ferkin not jerkin! [Reply]
Every once in a while I need some proper Claussen kosher dills, but more often than not Aldi brand dill/bread and butter chips work just fine... and they also carry some good hot chips in the deli section [Reply]
I ****ing love a good, deli pickle. It disturbs me greatly that most chain shops (Subway, Mr Goodcents, etc) don’t serve pickles (as in a whole pickle). Offer a ****ing pickle, you dillbags! [Reply]
Quiks BBQ on the Blvd used to have some really good hot pickles. I've got a couple of jars of dills from Costco, I'll give this recipe a try on one of them. Thanks for the info. [Reply]

Yes in a 32 oz jar of dill pickles.
INGREDIENTS
1 32oz jar kosher dill pickle halves (about four large pickles), with brine
1/2 cup prepared horseradish
1 tsp ground cayenne peppers. You could start with less horseradish then add more if you think it needs it. Just Google Porubskys hot pickles. [Reply]
I am a criminal defense attorney. My wife is the manager of a local ER. She’s a nurse by degree and license. My daughter is an ICU nurse. Our dinner conversations are …. Interesting.
A few years ago, during dinner, my wife says she had an unusual patient. He had 3rd degree burns to his anus and colon. Turns out, he put a cucumber in the microwave before he stuck it in his ass. Lo and behold, the time in the microwave made the cucumber hotter than expected. And he could not get it out quickly. He waited a few days before coming in because he was embarrassed. Nonetheless, he had 3rd degree burns on his asshole from microwaving a cucumber and inserting it.
I’ve never looked at a Cucumber the same way again. [Reply]
