I know, right? What a pretentious piece of shit. I doubt they’ve ever even tasted cucumber salad their life, yet they’re going to sit there and talk shit. It’s a traditional Polish recipe that’s very refreshing in the summer heat.
Oh! I highly recommend trying both ways, ie lemon juice instead of vinegar and decide which you like better. I like it either way, but I’m more partial to the lemon juice.
Oooh yes I’m very much a lemon juice fan. Just last night I made some pickled cucumbers to have with dinner - chopped cucumbers soaked in lemon juice and rubbed with salt and left for an hour or two. Sooooo good.
Nope! Our’s were purchased. You can get them on Amazon. That being said, I had one that I had actually swiped from the location that was near where I was stationed in the Navy, but I lost it years ago. I felt bad about doing it, but they didn’t sell them at that time, and I was young and stupid because I spoke Japanese and probably could have asked the guys that ran it instead of just taking it. I ate there almost every day when my ship wasn’t underway, so they ALL knew and liked me. They probably would have just given it to me. I guess I kind of made up for it by buying two later on? I hope the curry gods have mercy on me.
That’s so cool. What’s it like there? My dad and step-mum went there on their honeymoon, but they only saw it from a tourist’s perspective.
It’s a Japan thing! I believe they also have locations in Hawaii. I was stationed in Japan when I was in the Navy and CoCoIchi locations are like McDonald’s level there. I ate there almost every day (sometimes twice!).
Ha! I can imagine. Must be like living in a small town with no way to get away from it. I hope your experiences in the US were good. I’m so disappointed in and ashamed of my country. We should be better than, well, this [gestures around].
She did everything but the pan deglase and bake the buns herself, although they are actual Italian rolls made at a local Italian bakery. She didn’t use a Dutch oven because she was trying to recreate the style of flavor found in the stuff slung at your local carnival/fair/amusement park, which is cooked on those giant flat iron grills. She did cook the veggies along side the sausage, but drained most of the oil and grease because we’re older and try to look after our health.
Flat iron grill like a Blackstone? NA here don’t really use that to cook personally. Smart draining the extra fat though! Cheers! Hit me up if ever you want to recipe share.
Saskatchewan is mostly hummocky, though, since it’s surgical geology is primarily glacial till. Not a pile of topography, but definitely not flat.
South central Manitoba on the other hand? Former glacial Lake Agassiz basin. So flat, you can watch your dog run away, fall in love with another dog in Steinbach, and raise a family
Hmmm…maybe at some point in history they had nothing but cucumbers to eat and they were sick of trying to find new ways to eat them? In any case, it was a hit at the picnic. Brought home an empty container!
Hmmm…red onion I could definitely see adding to the flavor. I’ve had some versions that used sweet white onion, but I’m not sure how pickled red onion would play with the rest of the flavors. I’d be interested to see what it tastes like.
