Hungarian Pickle Works

Somebody tell that printer to get back to work.

This tax photograph pairs well with Grant’s Pickle Works, “Home of Piccalilli.” No. 58 and the adjacent buildings are now gone. In their place: two-family houses.

The distinctive element in Hungarian pickles, if I am understanding Hungarian pickles: bread. Rye, perhaps. Or sourdough.

[From the 1940 Brooklyn telephone directory.]

Thanks, Brian, for spotting the Works.
