Beauvais Asier – Pickled White Cucumber 560gg

Asier is a must if serving Danish roast pork at Christmas – serve 3-4 pieces of Asier on the plate next to the pork and red cabbage, it is delicious. IF you try this with something other than pork, don’t tell the Danes or they’ll banish you. 

Don’t ask us what variety of cucumbers is used to make these. We’ve tried to find out. Maybe it is a state secret? We’ve finally managed to locate a picture of a seed packet from 1970’s Denmark, so if there are any cucumber experts out there who can tell us exactly what kind of cucumbers they actually are, do let us know. 

Some say it is marrow, but really, others says ‘no’ and we’re still confused.
