Posted to Kitmailbox 8/98 by JoAnn Pellegrino NOTES : You know how in Italian restaurants the waiter brings bread with your water and cocktails? In Taiwan the waiter brings this dish and a bowl of peanuts. Obviously, it is not really a "pickle", but a salad. If you can't find (or won't pay for) English cucumbers, use the garden-variety cuke, peeled and seeded.
