I posted this in Worth's accidental garden thread, but it was meant for here, LOL. And yes, peeled for looks reason.
Long ago, and far away....
<Smile> I used to slice cucumbers very thinly on the mandolin and drop them into a big jar of Claussen's dill pickle juice, give them a quick shake and set aside while I toasted white bread or a sourdough ( San Francisco sourdough) . Left the toast to cool, then cut into pieces just big enough for a cucumber slice & spread with some soft butter, put a cucumber slice on top of the butter, add a very light smudge of creme freche to the cucumber slice, top that with a teeny bit of roasted red sweet pepper, or a bit of thin bacon pieces, maybe a bit of chopped chives or an edible flower.
They go together quickly, and make great bites or for a high tea sandwiches.
Yummy.
