My brother in law always called these 'Greek cucumbers' but my mother in law makes them too and just calls them cucumber salad or 'pickles'. For some reason, the whole family calls cucumbers 'pickles' - drives me nuts.
6 or so good sized cucumbers, fairly thinly sliced
1 medium onion thinly sliced into rings
about a cup or so of heavy cream plus vinegar to taste
Black pepper
Salt cucumbers in layers in a colander and let drain for several hours. Rinse well, then add pepper, onions, heavy cream and vinegar to taste. Place in refrigerator in a covered bowl overnight and serve the next day.

Cucumber Salad
My recipe calls for 2 peeled cucumbers and one medium onion sliced, I use a Mandoline vegie slicer.
Combine about a cup of Mayo / Miracle Whip with a one or two tablespoons of vinegar and enough milk to make the mix flow like a light sauce or dressing (usually about half a cup).
Or you may substitute dill pickle juice for the vinegar and milk, My recipe calls for salt and black pepper and dill weed.
I don't always add the dill and you might substitute any herb you like on vegies.

When the cukes are cold and you put them on your eyes, they reduce puffiness.

This sounds very good. I might have to try making this for Cere this week. In any case I'm bringing it to his attention.

spicey pickles
heat up the brine your favorite pickles come in --- hot enough to kill any germs
slice up some cucumbers and jalepenos and drop them in the hot brine --- stick in the fridge for 4-5 days
bang ... spicey pickles
-- edit --
works well with tomatoes too --- especially cherry tomatoes cut in half
