Medved Lubimiy Pickled Baby Cucumbers (Cornichons) 1450g (51oz)

Medved Lubimiy Pickled Baby Cucumbers (Cornichons) is a 1450g large-format jar of whole small pickled cucumbers from Medved Lubimiy — a specialty food producer in the Eastern European and Russian food category — in the cornichon format: the small, whole, firm cucumbers pickled in a dill-and-spice brine that is a cornerstone condiment of both the French charcuterie table and the Russian and Eastern European zakuski tradition, where small pickled cucumbers are the most universal and widely consumed pickle variety. Medved Lubimiy (meaning Favourite Bear) is a Russian or Eastern European specialty food brand producing pickled vegetables in the Eastern European pantry tradition, and the pickled baby cucumbers represent the malosol or standard dill-pickled cucumber that is the most universally eaten pickled vegetable in the Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, and Balkan pantry — present at every zakuski table and cold buffet, and stocked in the large 1450g format for the household that consumes pickled cucumbers in quantity. Small pickled cucumbers (cornichons in the French tradition, ogurchiki in Russian) represent the most complete overlap between the Russian and French culinary traditions: the same small cucumber that sits alongside pate de campagne on the French charcuterie board appears on the Russian New Year zakuski table — the crunchy, tangy, garlicky condiment that cuts through fat and richness in both traditions simultaneously. Eat straight from the jar alongside cold cuts, charcuterie, or cheese as the classic pickled cucumber condiment, serve on the zakuski or charcuterie board as the cornichon element, use in Olivier (Russian salad) as the essential pickled-cucumber ingredient, or keep in the pantry as the large-format Medved Lubimiy cornichons for the household that follows the Eastern European pickled-cucumber tradition.
