They have sliced cucumbers (usually medium-to-large cukes that are too
big to make good whole pickles) vinegar, water, sugar, salt, mustard
seeds, celery seeds, onions, and usually turmeric for color. They are
really good with a little bit of hot pepper in them, but that's not part
of the classic recipe. HTH :-)
