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.

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.

Linda's Parisian Burger Offer

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:
