Cucumbers

[Anonymous No.17580795]

What are your thoughts on cucumbers? How do you like prepping your cucumbers? I like to slice them thinly and combine with lemon juice and salt.

[Anonymous No.17580810]

Whole. Crammed.

>lemon juice
Cider vinegar is better.

people seem to hate them but I actually like them, they are fresh, full of fiber and some minerals + low calorie.

What I do is I sprinkle salt, pepper and olive oil and sometimes a little lemon/cider. Tastes super good and fills me up.

They're good pickled.

I like to do smashed marinated cucumbers
grate a few cloves of garlic/some ginger, mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, a little sugar, and hot chili oil
smash cucumbers, slice irregularly, salt for a few mins to draw out some water, drain, toss in marinade

The chinks call this cucumber salad and it is good.

Probably because you're a braindead retard with shit taste, which is pretty embarrassing.
Non-pickled cucumbers taste absolutely terrible.

i only fuck with english cucumbers these days. love them chopped up in a salad or sliced with some kind of dill or vegetable dip, or tzatziki sauce, or hummus

I like Middle Eastern cucumber salad
>diced cucumber
>tomato
>onion
>(non traditional, but I like to add them) jalapenos/serranos
>mint
>parsley
>lemon juice
>salt
I used to use Persian cucumbers for this, but they are more expensive now and I am poorer, so I use the cheaper cucumbers and just remove the skin and seeds

If you like this try a tahini salad. It's really good.

diced cucumber
diced tomato
tahini
lemon juice
water to control thickness
salt

Very good.

I think cucumbers are underrated and misused. They're ideal in salads, and wonderful on sandwiches with the right pairings.

[Anonymous No.17583710]

>>17583425
Sounds good Ahmed, any other uses for tahini? I’m keen on trying it but hate buying ingredients that end up lying around in the pantry.

Have you tried reverse-crammed?

Love how they taste but give me horrible fucking heartburn. Hard pass sadly.

[Anonymous No.17584355]

I sometimes use it in a sangewedge or salad etc. to add a little crunch, but it's not very flavourful.
I experimented slightly with using cucumber as a means of hydration when hiking but it makes you too full.
They're good sliced thin and pickled in vinegar and salt. Classic topping for Danish hotdogs.

Literally just halved lengthwise with a little salt. When they’re fresh they are so, so good.

there's a great scene where Lena Nicole fucks herself with a cucumber. I really like that scene and came a few times to it.
