Last week I had a friend tell me she hated cucumbers. Effing cucumbers!

Posted by con_carne Jul 23 '10, 12:57

I'm like a goat, I like and eat most anything. But, the hatred of extremely common produce items amuses me.

Responses:

Once again, for me it's a texture thing. The "rind" part isn't awful, but the seed part is vile. Pickle them and they're grand. -- nm - TWuG Jul 23, 13:21 5
- you aren't eating fresh cukes, the center should be pretty crisp. (i hate soggy cukes) -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 13:25 4
  - It's the seed part. Doesn't matter if it's crisp or not, it's an awful mouth-feel. -- nm - TWuG Jul 23, 13:28 2
    - it only takes a few seconds to scoop out the seeds with a spoon -- nm - 'lia Jul 23, 13:31
    - seedLESS. :) they exist! -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 13:29
  - yep. also, english cucumbers have less soggy potential to start with. -- nm - b. Jul 23, 13:27
Love Cukes. -- nm - amoxy Jul 23, 13:04 13
- cukes are awesome - 'lia Jul 23, 13:27
- me too. A bunch of them with tomatoes makes for the beginnings of yummy Shepherd's Salad which I abso LURVE. -- nm - Diva Jul 23, 13:06 11
  - i also make a thai cucumber salad: it's basically this one, but i riff on it a bit depending what i have - Andie Jul 23, 13:09 10
    - that's one of my fave thai restaurant items. if I'm feeling splurgy, I get a little bowl of peanut sauce and dab some on, too. so good. -- nm - b. Jul 23, 13:23 1
      - (and I'm so making my own again soon now. ) - b. Jul 23, 13:34
    - Yumm, I have been taking Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Red Onions and Feta Cheese - amoxy Jul 23, 13:18 5
      - i love fresh basil. you can never have too much of it in the garden. -- nm - 'lia Jul 23, 13:37
      - please move in with us. -- nm - Diva Jul 23, 13:31
      - (i might do this tonight, i have everything on hand. thx for the inspiration.) -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 13:30
      - greek salad! delish. add a few black olives too! -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 13:23 1
        
        I had that twice this week for dinner. (with grilled chicken.) -- nm - b. Jul 23, 13:25
    - hmmm... -- nm - Diva Jul 23, 13:12 1
      - it's a great side dish with chicken in the summer. -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 13:14
she prefers the real thing? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 23, 13:01 1
- Oh lawd! -- nm - Qale Jul 23, 13:14
Cukes are disgusting. -- nm - kelly Jul 23, 12:59 6
- no no no. sliced, in a bowl with vinegar and salt. excellent salty crunchy snack. - Andie Jul 23, 13:04 2
  - this. -- nm - Diva Jul 23, 13:14
  - I...agree? nm - Dignan Jul 23, 13:06
- Half-peeled, sliced cukes with salt, hot sauce or chili powder, and a squeeze of lemon are the shit -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 13:01 2
  - I used to love cukes - would eat one chopped up cuke every night with dinner when I was younger. - kelly Jul 23, 13:03
  - "are shit." -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 13:02
I agree with... her. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 23, 12:58
Cucumbers are disgusting. - JaxSean Jul 23, 12:58 10
- I have a friend who won't eat cucumbers because pigs won't eat them... -- nm - BAD Jul 23, 13:00
- yes, and YES. -- nm - kelly Jul 23, 12:59
- Didn't you also say you hated celery? See, these are some of the most harmless foods I can imagine. :) -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 12:59 7
  - the one food that burns more calories just by eating it. -- nm - sycor Jul 23, 13:02
  - Yes, Celery is evil, raw or cooked or pickled or whatever. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 13:01 5
    - you can't do cajun food without celery. it's unpossible! -- nm - 'lia Jul 23, 13:30
    - it's good with peanut butter or pimento cheese. -- nm - sycor Jul 23, 13:02 3
      - No. It's not. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 13:05 2
        
        JaxSean: The Spawn of celery -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 13:06 1
        
        Taste buds are different than common sense, of which Spawn has none. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 13:08
