Cucumber/Vinegar?

Deborah · July 8, 2015

I remember my aunt making a dish I liked and still do. It had no name that I ever heard. She drew a fork down the side of a peeled cucumber and put the slices in a bowl and covered them with vinegar and water. Pepper was sprinkled on top. I don't know if she marinated them overnight or served them right after making them. This never tastes as good as hers when I make it. My questions are: What is this recipe called? Why the fork marks, for looks or to absorb more vinegar? How much water? Marinate?
