Hello Bob,
I believe that what you mean is senfgurken. You can buy them here:
German Grocery - Pickles
There's also a recipe below.
Phaed
Senfgurken
4.5 lbs cucumbers
3/4 Cup Salt
1/2 lb. pearl onions
15- pepper corns
10 allspice
1/2 Cup yellow mustard seed
3-5 bay leaves
1 1/2 liter wine vinegar
1 quart water
2 cups sugar
Preparation
Use only big ripe yellow, but still firm cucumbers. Peel and cut lengthwise,
and with a spoon scrape out all seeds.
Cut in strips or chunks and layer them with the salt in a glass or porcelain
dish. Leave them sit for 12-24 hours, and then strain them in a sieve, and
carefully dry all chunks, again layer them with the onions and herbs and spices
in a large glazed ceramic pot or in individual canning jars.
Bring vinegar, water and sugar to a boil on med. heat and pour over the cucumber
chunks. After they have cooled, cover each glass with wax-paper or Saran wrap.
Let them age for about 4 weeks before eating.

Serve over spaghetti.

Hi Sherry,
No luck with a Carino's recipe for this, but see below.
Phaed
Roasted Garlic
Ingredients:
1 head garlic
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 425F.
2. Remove the outer papery covering of the garlic. Slice off the top of
the head so most of the cloves are exposed. Place on a square of aluminum
foil for easy cleanup, or select the smallest baking dish you have. Drizzle
the oil over the cloves. Fold the foil over the head to completely enclose it,
or cover the baking dish with foil.
3. Roast for about 45 minutes, until the garlic is completely soft and lightly
browned.
4. To serve, separate the head into individual cloves. Allow your guest to
squeeze out the softened garlic as needed. Or squeeze out the cloves into a
small serving dish. If you have leftovers, squeeze out the pulp into a small
dish, cover with olive oil, and store, tightly covered, in the refrigerator
for up to 1 month.

Dear, Sir,
I a native of Mountain View and in high-school worked at the now
defunct Linda's Drive-in. I made the secret Parisian sauce daily. My
aunt recently contacted me because she was throwing a retirement
party for a local Police officer and asked if I might have the
Parisian Sauce Recipe.
I dug it out of my high school garage box and realized that this
recipe has been secret for over 50 years...
So I decided yesterday to blog about it. I am initially providing
the ingredients, but for those who can stir up memory lane I will be
happy to share the recipe.
here is the link: Tony Siress
tell me a story about your experiences at Linda's Drive-in and I will
share it with you!
Also, see here for the recipe:
