>not liking The Notorious Glorious Q-Cumber

Dry spinache with no dressing is like eating unwiped toilet paper

>>9973500
I like cucumber because of how tasteless and watery it is.
>>9973529
Raw spinach is a bit mom-tier though

Is this the baby palate general?

>cucumber is tasteless
Stop drinking soda.

>>9973500
>Cucumber is tasteless
Says the American

>>9973500
Lol, your taste buds are fucked if you think cucumber is tasteless. Try giving up soda for a while (like a month) and you'll find a lot of the shit you thought was bland was actually very flavorful.

A simple cucumber salad with salt and lime juice is one of the most delicious and refreshing things ever

i think cucumber has one of the strongest flavors ever.

i can immediately detect even a tiny amount in any dish. you eat it, and you'll be burping up the aftertaste hours later.

but it's hard to describe. it's not an "upfront" flavor, but this background flavor that's cloying as fuck.

>>9973500

If you think cucumber has no flavour you need to lay off the spices, it has a pretty strong flavour.

Fact: literally everything that tastes good on crackers tastes 100x better on a salad, a slice of cucumber or tomato, or a piece of crispbread.

Crackers are bland, useless, empty carbs. Fuck them. Don't tell me about soup either. Get some proper dumplings or crusty bread and sit and spin. Toss your crackers in the bin.

>>9973621
Sounds shit

>>9973649
Go back to your shillboys thread

>>9973529
nobody does that though

>>9973634
>white bois btfo!

Slice a cucumber into thin pieces, same with with a slightly sour green apple. Sprinkle both with a pinch of salt and sugar but not much for either. Let them "soak" for a few min in a bowl. Then take them out and layer it onto a bagel with creamcheese. Thats some good shit right there.

>>9973500
I hate you so much OP.
cucumbers can b eaten raw with salt.
they can be done Mexican street food style with lime juice, salt, and all sorts of good hot sauces.
they can be eaten with a good dressing.
you can make cucumber sandwiches with cream cheese.
theyre great in salads.
and yeah, I used them as filler on a big titty ex several times and drove her wild, made her cum twice with a ginormously fat cucumber I built her up to starting with normal sized ones.

tl;dr you suck opee.

water
>but uhhh thats not food!?

>>9973529
jesus christ i knew /ck/ had no taste but this is a new low
raw dry spinach is one of the greatest pleasures available from the plant kingdom

>>9973662
I do.

Call me fucking Popeye the Sailor but I grab that shit and eat it by the crunchy handful.

>>9973838
You forgot benedictine as a spread for sandwiches. You can eat it on its own or with other sandwich fillers that would go with cucumbers.

>>9973874

>>9973500
>cucumber
>tasteless

>>9973634

Salad is trash and crackers are a survival food

>>9973500
I put cucumber in ALL my salads and most of my sandwiches. You suck dicks OP.

>>9973500

>>9973623
>i think cucumber has one of the strongest flavors ever.
I love cucumber, but this claim is even more retarded than saying cucumber tastes like nothing

>>9973623
>i tjink chukumber hasthe strongest flavour ever
Shit /ck/ was a mistake

>>9973850
White person with broken taste buds detected. You probably think steak is great with only salt and pepper and no sauce too

>>9973850
I go handfuls at a time straight from the bag

>>9974086
our green beans look like shit

>>9973649
Go back to whatever fast food thread you came from

Try pork and cucumber dishes, very tasty

>>9973546

Dont cut you cucumbas with steel dumbass

>>9973500
Cucumbers are great because of their crisp skin and gentle water centre; good to provide contrast to fatty raw seafood and/or spice whilst still having a nice gentle mineral tang
also

What kind of retard eats steak with sauce? Use a better marinade and grow up, kid.

>>9973621
we're doing salt + cream in my place

>>9973621
Big facts

>>9973500
Stopped in to say that you're a fucking homo, cucumber is the fucking bee's knees.

>>9975110
>What kind of retard eats steak with sauce?
What cut of steak? A lot are great with some salt when properly prepared, but it's nice to have some sauce from time to time.

>Use a better marinade and grow up, kid.
Not that guy but if you need to marinade a "steak" than you're talking about something like braising, smoking, stewing, etc. You don't marinade a good steak. Kid.

I guess what I'm saying is, go back to your dry-ass well-done trash sirloins.

>>9974105
where I come from, adding sauce to a steak is insult to the chef

>>9974105
I think there's something wrong with YOUR tastebuds if you feel the need to ruin a delicious steak with some shitty sauce

>>9973500

>>9974004

>>9977716
You're supposed to blend them into a hummus

Cucumber is the only thing I don't put on a Sub because its taste is overpowering to me.

>>9977716
actually end your life anon

>If you think cucumber has no flavour you need to lay off the spices, it has a pretty strong flavour.
This. Cucumbers have aromatic flavor as much as celery even.

It is one of my favorite sides. I buy the bags of baby cukes, and slice one or two up as a quick side often. It goes onto the top of sandwiches too. I hit it with a splash of seasoned rice vinegar and sesame oil for asian dishes, maybe a pinch of sugar and dill with vinegar, maybe I'll just stir in some sliced green onion and sour cream and lots of black pepper. Gingery and carrot filled Makoto dressing and cucumbers are a complete marriage made in heaven too.

How can you hate cucumber? It's so awesome to bite into on a sandwich. I save them for having last on a salad. Love posting up and eating them with salt on top

>>9974105

>>9973500
Zucchini is pretty tasteless. I use it for pasta replacement when I make spaghetti sauce. It's very filling to me. Plus it's 33 calories or so per zucchini. It has its own flavor I guess but it takes on flavors that's it's cooked or mixed with quite well.

>>9973500
lettuce

>>9979163
Fuck you talking about? I love zucchini flavor it's the gem of any chinese stir fry.

>>9973662
I've been eating giant bowls of it lately. It's nice to snack on.

>>9973500
If its tasteless than why do i hate the taste?

>>9979163
My sister just made zucchini soup and that shit was cashola

>>9981237
Nice. Get her recipe and post it before you or Tyrone hose her, Billy Bob!

>>9981290
I knew some faggot would immediately say something like this. Stay predictable 4chins

I grow zucchini and cucumbers because if you're ever starving you won't be because the fuckers never stop growing.

I have to find creative uses for both.

>>9975351
childhood memories

>>9973649
it is shit.
usually you add dill too
it's bad mix.
and spoils REALLY fast since you're mixing salt and cucumbers

>>9982417
Since when adding salt makes shit spoil *faster*?

>>9979163
You mean it tastes crap

>>9981366
Just don't pawn off those big crappy zukes on people. I play baseball with them.

>>9973500
Just came here to post that OP is a fag

>>9973500
Palatelet. I much prefer the good ol' q'cumba' to the dreary tomate

>>9981366
do u make pickles

>>9973500
Raw cucumber in a steaming hot burger is fucking vile.

Sprinkle some Tajin on one, it is delicious.

>>9973634
>not eating truffle carpaccio on a cracker

why even bother?

>>9973500
Cucumber is good for a few things. Like kacumber salad and tzaziki.

>>9973662
I do this its great

>>9979330
This. How could anyone prefer shitty iceberg lettuce over raw spinach? It has no real flavor, just a slight bitterness.
