Thank you. Here where I live people add some bread during fermentation, but you can have breadless classic pickle as well. I like the breaded version more, this is a common sight on balcons of commie blocks in the summer:
It's a bit more crunchy and it has a very specific taste I can't describe, more sour and sweet at the same time. You can't buy it in shops, only in farmers markets or make it yourself.

Well, this is a pickle.
As I understand cucumber is the raw vegetable and it becomes pickle after fermented? Or is it a us vs uk term?
Your understanding is correct, I just couldn't resist the joke.

The english name of this is "leavened cucumber"
Then I'm gonna invent "unleavened cucumber" and use Lavash instead
I've never seen the bread thing before, I wonder how it changes the pickle taste. Might have to give it a shot, fr!

Awesome, 'preciate you. Lately the comments sections in shitposts have been fairly informative and helpful, and I'm glad I'm here for it!
Where's my "guess we're doing cucumbers now" meme?
I think at this point, any low-effort food meme goes. After all, what we eat always turns to shit...
Wait.... How did we get from Corn to Cucumbers?!?
Some might say Autism, others will claim ADHD.
For me, though, they just slide in easier...
