Odessa “5 minutes” pickled cucumbers

I want a “Loader’s” sandwich from Privoz, blood sausage, and salo (the sequence is not important here 😂), I want Borodinsky’s bread from the booth at the bus stop, lightly salted cucumbers with honey and mustard, ti-i-i-ny, size of about a little finger, crepes with cottage cheese, Odessa champagne and Odessa heat, sand in sneakers, hugs and tears of joy, the scent of the sea right away on the airport runway, and this southern humor and rudeness of ours, Odessa personages and fashionable ladies with big lips. I want, in short, to be in my little cozy world where everything is simple and clear. Where you read from faces, you hear from balconies. I want to go to Odessa, it blooms like crazy and smells like the sea ❤️
And although you will not find such delicious cucumbers on the island: the English watery green giants are not a perfection at all, but even they can be saved with our purely Odessa recipe!
