Henriette Davidis-Holle: “Praktisches Kochbuch für die gewöhnliche und feinere Küche” 42nd edition, Velhagen und Klasing, Bielefeld and Leipzig 1906.
I opened the index under the keyword “garlic”, expecting that there would be nothing in it. But deceived, there is nevertheless an entry to find, namely that for garlic cucumbers (so-called devil cucumbers).
Semi-ripe cucumbers are peeled, cut into four pieces, the insides are removed, salted and left for two days. Then dry them with a cloth and put them in layers with black and white shallots, horseradish, peppercorns, pepperwort*) or broad-leaved bay leaves, fennel, cress**), caraway seeds, Spanish pepper and garlic (not much of the latter two spices) in a stone cooking pot, making a bottom and top layer of the herbs, boil wine vinegar in a brass kettle and pour it boiling on it. The vinegar must be boiled three times one over the other day and poured hot each time.
*) Peppercorn is defined by my dtv dictionary quite generally as pimpernell, for example savory or wall pepper (stonecrop – whatever that may be).
