    As I understand cucumber is the raw vegetable and it becomes pickle after fermented? Or is it a us vs uk term?

    Your understanding is correct, I just couldn't resist the joke.

    Thank you. Here where I live people add some bread during fermentation, but you can have breadless classic pickle as well. I like the breaded version more, this is a common sight on balcons of commie blocks in the summer:

    The english name of this is "leavened cucumber"

    Then I'm gonna invent "unleavened cucumber" and use Lavash instead

    I've never seen the bread thing before, I wonder how it changes the pickle taste. Might have to give it a shot, fr!

    It's a bit more crunchy and it has a very specific taste I can't describe, more sour and sweet at the same time. You can't buy it in shops, only in farmers markets or make it yourself.

    Here is a basic recipe: https://grocceni.com/recipes/leavenedgherkin.html

    This is a bit more complex, it adds sugar as well: https://dailynewshungary.com/recipe-for-the-perfect-leavened-cucumber/
