    Paula I was watching your show Grandmother table, I was very move at the end. I know your tears of love fell from your eyes was love. I cry my self of missing my mother and her cooking and teaching me. Hard to believe a 6'1 372lb blk man would cry. But your grandma fry chicken brought back memories. the potatoe salad she would make after church on sunday, She would never let us go out for dinner, but cook home cook dinners, If you came over you was not leaving till you have dinner with the family. She made her kitchen at and at church fill with love. Thank You Paula for the good memeories. i hope i have the honor one day in meeting you in person. May God Bless you and keep you and your family.

    My family is originally from New York (have NEVER lived in the South, and yet my dad made this all the time when I was growing up. We moved to So-Cal when I was a young girl and still enjoyed cucumber and onions with our cukes grown fresh from our garden! My husband and I still live here in Southern Cal and found a local deli (Brents! who makes this also, so we enjoy it all the time with take-out. When I make it at home, I pass on the peppers (my hubby doesn't care for them and use rice wine vinegar instead of the white vinegar and sugar; adds a lovely sweet-tart flavor and makes for a delicious side dish. Don't know why it's considered southern, though, as I've been having it all my life and no one in my family has ever lived in the South. Love it, though!

    Skip the mayo if you want it to be more healthy. Sour cream works also!

    My family made a marinate of white vinegar, sugar, and water. Drained and added some mayo. I now marinate for a few hours and make a olive oil based dressing. Yum

    I remember when I was a kid my grandmother used to make this ALL the time! The only difference is instead of the vinegar on the side she would marinate the onions and cucumbers in the vinegar with sugar and a little mayo for a creamy cucumber salad! It was the absolute best! I make it now for my own kids and they LOVE IT!
