AIBU about cucumber

[TellMeItsNotTrue]

I never thought that there was a right or wrong way to eat cucumber, but my friend says the way I have it is weird

I think the way she has it is odd but not really bothered because it's just cucumber, who cares? She won't let it go though so we are turning it over to MN to find out which is more common way of eating cucumber

A) Eaten whole, biting in to it like a banana
B) Sliced on salad/sandwich or in strips for snack/with lunch
C) Other way of eating it?

D) Buy it add it to the collection of other unopened, rotten cucumbers in the fridge. Look at it for a week. Throw in bin once it has turned to black smush.

Oh, and B!
A is just weird

scoop out the seeded centre and fill with mayo for a snack

I need a diagram for this. Surely the middle of the cucumber is the whole point in eating the watery bastards?! That just sounds like cucumber skin filled with mayo instead of the actual vegetabley bit

No - there's skin, the thin, dark green bit; there's the flesh; and there's the seedy jellyish bit in the middle. So you scoop out the seedy bit (eating it, rather than discarding it,) and you're left with flesh and skin, and fill the hole that is now in the middle with mayo.

(No diagram, on phone.)

Or instead of mayo use cream cheese out of a tube for quickness!

My FIL peels them.

C) to decorate my Hendricks g&t

I do both. I use it sliced or chuned in salads, on wraps etc, but sometimes i cant be bothered making a sandwich i'll grab a big old chunk, if not the whole half that's left, and a big old chunk of cheese ,and alternate bites.

I blend it with tomatoes, peppers, garlic and olive oil and vinegar plus iced water to make cold gazpacho soup. It's beautiful in the summer.
The banana thing gave me a visual.
It's late and I need to take my mind out of the bloody gutter I know, I know... 😁

My 7 year old does A, I do B as for C... I have heard a few other ways cucumber shave been used but never eaten 😂😂

Shave lol! I mean have

B if I'm doing a sandwich
A if I'm just hungry in need of a snack

B is the norm. My kids prefer it like A though, I've lost count of the amount of times they've stolen one whilst I've been putting the shopping away and eaten it all like that. They are much more likely to eat it if I stick half of one on their plate instead of in slices. Likewise peppers, they eat them like apples.

Ok you have all reassured me that I'm not a complete lunatic although my friend now just thinks there are lots of weird people out there

To the people who do A - does the juice not run everywhere? I can imagine it being messy if I attempted that. I don't think you are odd though I really have no strong feelings about how people eat cucumbers...and I didn't realise that anyone did until yesterday

There is no correct way to eat cucumber bits is the devils food.

Sleight that really made me laugh which is a big achievement at the moment I'm not sure that I can risk leaving a dentastix by her though, she already thinks I'm bonkers

Red funnily enough, I'm not called Sophie but she is maybe she has been influenced by the BFG

YABU to eat cucumber.

Cucumber is vile and disgusting and contaminates everything it comes into contact with

DD would do A if I let her, usually I cut a big chunk off for her, she's very into salad, not sure where she gets it from

D) Slice off a 5mm piece and place in gin and tonic

oh yes @champagneplanet that's one of my favourites too. SO refreshing.

Ive never seen anyone do A and the mental image actually made me laugh.

Does she pick up roast chickens and eat them whole too?

Can you post an image for us of her pretending a cucumber is a banana and eating it whole. Please? 🤣

Sliced or in sticks but my 8 year old DD loves to eat it like your friend does! She's a total cucumber fiend!

Cut in half and slathered with salt red chilli powder and lemon juice is the best way :)

Sliceed wafer thin and marinated in the fridge in cider vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Very Scandinavian and awesome with steamed salmon and a dollop of sour cream.

A😁

Once worked with a woman who ate cucumber in style A in the office daily. Thankfully only worked with her for a very short time
