Pickled cucumbers
I live in Ireland and have not come across Shosi used in the pickled cucumber recipe. Is there a substitute I can use?

Basil or mint are both okay substitutes (thai basil might be better than italian), but you might consider adding a little umeboshi paste as well, it contains shiso and has a bite similar to the fresh herb (don't add a lot though, it's pretty salty tasting).
