Giant Eagle Bread & Butter Pickle Chips
What it is
These are thinly sliced cucumbers preserved in a sweet and tangy brine. The "bread and butter" style refers to the specific pickling recipe, which traditionally includes sugar, vinegar, and spices like mustard seed and celery seed. This creates a distinct flavor profile that is both sweet and slightly sour, with a gentle spice. They are typically packed in a liquid to maintain their crispness and flavor.
