Pogue Mahone Pickles

Seriously the best pickles I have ever tried. I sampled at the FM downtown, one bite was all it took to get me to part with $ 10 for a small jar. Never thought I would happily pay so much for pickles! But worth it. Crisp and crunchy and they do not smell overly vinegary.

I bought my first ever $ 10 jar of pickles from the Pogue Mahone guy at Barton Creek Farmer’s Market and was very impressed, so impressed in fact that I have gone back and bought at least ten more jars from him or his cohorts over time. That’s over $ 100 in pickles that I’ve bought from Pogue Mahone. There’s a reason for it, and you just need to find out why for yourself. BTW, I prefer the sliced pickles rather than the spears, because sometimes I just don’t feel like eating a whole spear. and I’d hate to waste even one bite of these precious jewels.

I truly love pickles. They are my favorite snack food. These pickles are so freakin good. I almost feel like I am not worthy of such crunchy deliciousness. I picked up a jar of habanero ginger at the Barton Springs Farmers Market. It set me back 10 bucks, but it was worth every dime. I am not kidding when I say these are the best pickles I’ve ever eaten.

I know a Pickle Man
He owns a pickle stand
He sells most anything
From gerkins on down
One day I bet my life
I’ll be his Pickle Wife
Oh, how I love that Pickle Man!
If I wasn’t already married, I could so be Mrs Keri Mahone (his real name is Sam Addison), Pickle Queen of Central Texas! THen I’d get a fresh pickle every day!
These are so fresh, crunchy and tasty! The thick cut chips made my Superbowl turkey burgers shine! My favorite thing is to put the pickle in my taco… my turkey wrap taco I mean. They just give anything an extra zing!
Give Pogue a try (you can find them at the Cedar Park FM). I promise you’ll never want those store bought tired old flaccid, er Vlasic, pickles ever again.

I’m done. I can’t live without Pogue Mahone. The pickles are the BEST that I have EVER had. Pogue Mahone has ruined me… thank you very much.

I saw a pickle dude hanging out in the sweltering heat at the Cedar Park Farmers Market two Saturdays ago. I have wished I could find some yummy local gourmet pickles around here for quite a while now. I AM OBSESSED WITH PICKLES! I knew I was going to buy whatever he was selling.
These are the best pickles I have ever had in my life. Pickle Dude (his name is Sam but I like pickle dude) has a new flavor every month or couple of weeks. The last couple have been spicy, which will always get good reviews from me — I LOVE SPICY PICKLES even more than non-​spicy! I am considering asking him if he needs any help at the market or making pickles. Maybe he needs a pickle apprentice?
bottom line: BEST PICKLES EVER — these are crack pickles Youv’e been warned.

I had one bite of the Serrano lime pickles and had to buy a jar. They were the best pickles I have had in a long time. When you want fresh and crispy you have to try these pickles.

My mission was to find the best hand crafted pickles. I tried and ordered many different kinds. They were good but missing something.
My journey for the best pickles brought me to a farmer’s market in North Austin. Here I found Pogue Mahone Pickles. I walked by a few times scoping out the tent and final walked up to see what flavors they had.
First I was able to try their original. It was so delicious I couldn’t possibly think they could have better. Then I was offered a sample of their Serrano and Lime pickles. Again I was surprised how amazing they were. It was fresh, crispy and tasty. I had to buy a jar of each.
Austin may be known for good bbq and live music but Pogue Mahone is making it a pickle town too! I am looking forward to the next flavor. If you want the best pickles around you have to find these!

Pickles are no doubt one of those trendy things that many a foodie likes to try out, simply for the fact that it is unique and definitely artisan. The pickle makers have a more marketable agenda, as pickles are one of the cheapest things to make, least labor intensive, and definitely profitable.
Enter the new pickle market. Pogue Mahone is definitely providing its own spin on the classic pickled cucumber. Long gone are the days when only a slice of Vlassic will do alongside your ham and cheese. Now, you go to the new movement of FM and expect local bread, local cheese, local ham, and local pickles to make your lunch enjoyable.
As with all handcrafted goods, the choices you make come at a steep price point. You pay for what you eat. And what you eat here boasts some finely crafted flavors and textures. The original has a slight zing, with the Thai chilis, but the heat is just on the backside, not overwhelming your palate by any means. A little fresher and spicier is the special Mint-​Jalapeño. Both are unique and tasty in their own ways, but the texture is superb in both cases.
Check out the website, or give the guy a call if what I have said today has struck a note in you. I hope that you would find it in your heart to give pickles of high quality a try. You can definitely tell some hard work went in to prepping and perfecting these crisp goods. Texture wise, wow. Flavor, clean as a whistle. No guessing games here.
