Cucumbers and Sugar

My grandmother is from Poland, and my mom is first generation American. Both my mom and Babi gave all of the kids cucumbers and sugar to dip the cucumbers in as a snack. She also occasionally gave us mizeria. I recently brought it up and she can't recall it at all, and Babi has long since passed. Is this a typical Polish snack or is this something she just did when we were kids to get us to eat cucumbers?

Edit: I only really mentioned mizeria because people have asked when I asked them about the cucumbers and sugar thing, if I wasn't mistaken that it was just mizeria. We had that too, and I know is super common. It is delicious and refreshing.
