Thanks!! Going to have a go at these. I only recently realised that cukes aren't "just water" as some people dismissively used to tell us, but that they're nutritionally useful. Duh. And of course. Such an easy way to add an extra veggie, a crunch, a flavour, too.
I used to get bitter thin-skinned little fat things as a kid - we grew them. I like the tiny ones found in small Asian grocers. Bloody love a gherkin / dill. But I never imagined there was any nutritional goodness at all in any of it, till someone recently told me about the vitamin K. So I'm very inspired by this to do some pickling and eat cukes in several different ways. Thanks! And yum!

I think that if the only cucumber you've ever eaten is an 'English seedless' from a supermarket, you're in for a pleasant surprise 🙂

I should share some of the Ukrainian pickle and salad recipes with you! Wonderful cucumbers there especially in Odesa and Kharkiv regions
