I love cucumber, and even when I am feeling full, cucumber is just so soothing. I love it's watery coolness. Is there anything more refreshing?

Plus it is the only vegetable dd1 will eat so she has it with every meal! I just love it

Cucumber is especially lovely when it's in a glass of Pimm's. Mmmmmmm....

Toblerone is my favourite vegetable. The kids love it too.

YABVU cucumber is the work of the devil, second only to celery in it's evilness.

YUCK YUCK YUCK YUCK

Cucumber and melon are the very works of the Devil indeed. Just the smell of them makes me retch.

Mumcentreplus · 02/11/2010 20:00

Hmm Grin

Bumperlicious · 02/11/2010 20:01

LOL @ toblerone Grin

I just love cucumber, it's one of the few vegetables I actually enjoy eating. I like or tolerate a lot of others, but wouldn't eat them if they weren't so healthy.

Melon, however is horrid!

YANBU cucumber mmm..

cyb · 02/11/2010 20:03

Peppers give me the heeby jeebies too

mellicauli · 02/11/2010 20:05

1/2 cup cucumber 9 mg vitamin C
1/2 cup red pepper 142g vitamin C

I am thinking that the red pepper is the true winner..

GrandhighBOOba · 02/11/2010 20:06

There is a quote, I cannot remember exactly, so shall paraphrase a bit...

"A cucumber should be finely sliced and tossed in a delicate dressing of vinegar and pepper, and then thrown away as good for nothing."

Think it was Samuel Johnson.

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 02/11/2010 20:07

I adore cucumber, I have some everyday with my lunch.

It's crunchy
It's juicy
It's soft

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Mumcentreplus · 02/11/2010 20:08

Beetroot...I'm sorry but there is something seriously evil about it...I think its the stain-level Hmm

Don't get me started on Celery...I mean it draws you in with the crunch and greeness and then it tastes like arse mixed with tyres Angry

Schroeder · 02/11/2010 20:12

Yummy cucumber, I really love proper cucumber sandwiches with white bread and butter and the crusts cut off. I could eat an enormous heap of themGrin

laweaselmys · 02/11/2010 20:17

Cucumber, salad, Brie and grape finely sliced with a little light dressing rules the world.

Inch thick lump if cucumber also great for slightly older teething babies.

Lotster · 02/11/2010 20:18

YANBU but that has to be the weirdest thread title ever. Well done.
