They go very well on a hamburger, possibly even better than a slice of (pickled?) beetroot. Compared to regular sweet pickles they have a somewhat buttery note to their flavor, rather like a malolactic fermentation in wine. A lot of the time, I don't bother waiting for the burger and just eat them by themselves.
I remember introducing a New Zealand kid, an exchange student in high school, to dill pickles on hamburgers. He about gagged -- "They're awful!" I tried to tell him about sweet pickles too, but I don't think he believed me.
