Just double checking… these are cucumbers preserved in brine not vinegar?
Thanks.
Yes!
I make this for Halloween night; it’s just my “thing”.
Enjoying a bowl of Zupa Orgorkowa while greeting Monsters & Princesses keeps me from eating from their bowl of candy! I add chopped garlic to ward off vampires, of course. Smacznego!
We enjoy this soup made with tangy homemade pickles. May I suggest that you try a little grated celery root (celeriac) with the carrot? I think you make like it.
Thank you for suggestion! I will try that:)
What is the “sweet cream”. Is it heavy cream or whipping cream? Just not family with the tears sweet cream. Thanks for your help.
It’s cream 30-36 % fat. Enjoy!
