Never heard of a Jewish pickle. I have heard of deli pickles and kosher pickles. I really doubt he took any serious offense, was just informing you that "kosher" is the common and preferred (at least to him) term.

Overture searches last month:
Kosher pickle 759
Deli pickle 185
Jewish pickle 0 (they round 25 or less to 0)

Google matches:
"kosher pickle" 2140
"deli pickle" 593
"jewish pickle" 50

So jewish isn't unheard of, but isn't common. Could be a regional thing. Like in a New York deli, I think you'd get the response you got, but maybe in Boise Idaho they'd wonder what a "deli pickle" was and call it a Jewish pickle. Where are you from? I'm from Michigan.
