The Official "Where Do You Stand On Cucumbers?" Thread

[neko]

Yup - Tzatziki is what cucumbers were meant for. Greek salads too.

 

And definitely gin.

Nothing worse when they put it in the onion salad that you have with poppadoms.

What's not to like? A bit of crunch, a bit of moisture, a very pleasant, if subtle, flavour.

 

I think the point is that many of us don't find the flavour at all pleasant, or subtle for that matter.

 

There appears to be a genetic element to this; most of my family are fine with them, but my mum doesn't like them, nor does my nephew.

And isn't it amazing that all English speaking nations call it a cucumber as well !

Is it over the counter stuff. To eat tomato soup again without feeling like I'm a fucking test tube would be great.

Just throw some Rennies on top like little minty croutons.

Double post mofo.

It's a delicious fruit.

They’re the fucking bomb when done right. And right means a fat chunk in a strong gin and cucumber tonic or in a tomato and cucumber salad with salt, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Shit is real, yo. Nice thinly sliced in a cheese butty too.

Go on, I'll play. What the fuck is a cheese nutty? 

[Pureblood]

The idea of adding 'cumber to expensive gin.  Complete sacrilege. 

[ZonkoVille77]

They repeat on me something fierce. But pointless and have little nutrional value but they do freshen up G&T. Dash of black pepper in it and Bob's yer Auntie

Excellent additions to a salad and a tuna butty. I'd prefer to stand on one rather than sit on it though. I'm not an Edinburgh pervert you know.

Good call here -- tuna salad sarnie with sliced cucumber and black olives.

Surprisingly nice in a glass of water.

What a beautiful day! What a beautiful day for shoving a cucumber through the vicar's letterbox and shouting "The Martians are coming! The Martians are coming!"

Cucumber is delicious when cold and crisp.

 

Vile when either or both are not the case.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Homegrown is alright with me.

Homegrown is the way it should be. 

Homegrown is a good thing.

Supermarket cucumbers don't really taste of much at all.

Give me bad acid reflux, alongside pastry and the worst of all tomato soup which is annoying because I fucking love a bowl of tomato soup with loads of white bread. I still eat them on a salad barm/sandwich though. I could easily never eat one again and not be arsed.

A pie with some brown sauce is the worst for acid reflux. Food from the gods, then Satan hijacks it and fucks you over.

I have prescription Esomeprazole. However, you can get this over the counter.

It’s the vinegar.
