Answer 2

I have never had this, it sounds nice.  My mother was Welsh and the Welsh (well in North Wales) eat their cucumbers sliced in vinegar.

Answer 3

It just sounds like pickled cucumbers in sour cream, They have it at all the buffets in the US. I don't have the exact recipe, I've played around with it. Peel and slice cucumber, bring vinegar and sugar to a boil (I think a little bit of water too)pour hot mixture over cucumbers drain, refridgerate over night with paper towels (you want them dry so when you add sour cream they won't be watery . I haven't seen a recipe for them so I just fooled around tasting the sugar water vinegar, with the hot solution they pickle right away. I took them to a potluck and everyone loved them
