Hey, could anyone translate this for me? I can barely read the handwriting. I’m from London and my great grandad moved to England from Denmark in 1903. This is a note from a box of his.

1. I cant read most of it but it looks like a recipe to me.

2. I can only partially read it but it appears to be a recipe of some kind.

3. It’s some sort of recipe, having a hard time reading it, but says something about sugar, vinegar, salt and peber, cutting something into slices.

   Edit – Here is my best take on it –

   *Cucumber sliced, and gets put into vinegar with a lot of sugar, a bit of salt and peber.*

   *No more vinegar than it covers the slices.*

   *Store for half an hour with lid on the bowl.*

   Sounds like pickled cucumber slices.

   Edit 2 – the finished product would look something like this: [https://www.maduniverset.dk/_ipx/img/opskrifter/thumbs/916-hjemmelavet-agurksalat-maduniverset.jpg?w=1280](https://www.maduniverset.dk/_ipx/img/opskrifter/thumbs/916-hjemmelavet-agurksalat-maduniverset.jpg?w=1280)

5. It’s a recipe for pickles…
   Thin slices though.

   Ideal for topping on a hotdog.

   Also, if you come across a recipe for “frikadeller” you are in for a treat!

   Have nice day
