History
The name is derived from the Norse word Dilla meaning to lull. The Anglo Saxons used dill medicinally for many health problems, but it was commonly used as a carminative; the Emperor Charlemagne kept it on his tables as a digestive aid for guests. Modern-day dill pickles are considered an appetite-suppressing food.
