What it is
These are thinly sliced cucumber pickles preserved in a sweet and tangy brine. The "bread and butter" style refers to the classic combination of vinegar, sugar, and spices that gives them their distinctive flavor. They are typically made from fresh cucumbers that are then processed and jarred for shelf stability. The chips are small and round, making them easy to add to various dishes.
