    Del Murder spilled the beans on that particular Staff drama. It made me laugh and laugh. Silly Psychotic! Cucumbers are cucumbers! Zucchinis are zucchinis!

    Everyone knows that they're different, don't try and lump all Brits together as if we all believe this particular brand of lunacy.

    Cucumbers are cucumbers, zucchini are zucchini, and both are in the bottom tier of edible vegetables.

    Yeah, the whole thing was about what denotes a cucumber and how apparently American cucumbers and British cucumbers are different. Zucchini was somehow involved for no good reason.

    It was a mess.

    I like cucumbers most anytime, but zucchini is only good when fried.

    The best way to consume cucumbers is in the form of cucumber lemonade. Alternatively, slices with tuna salad scoops are also yummy.

    I guess so, I've never used a juicer so I don't know the process. I blended them and then separated the pulp so as to just have the juice. So yes!

    This is sadly very true. Yet, when fried, zucchini becomes much more edible. Cucumbers are reliant on salads and other foods to mingle with in order for them to taste good, and are unable of standing on their own and being enjoyable.

    What.

    Cucumbers are delicious on their own. I regularly just munch on plain cucumbers. One of my favorite sodas in the world is cucumber flavored. It's called Mr. Q Cumber.

    Other vegetables beg to be in the same room as cucumbers.

    I have had two kinds of cucumbers in my lifetime. This kind is what we grew at my house growing up. It's short and stumpy. The skin has little white thorn-bumps on it that you can remove by brushing them off. The skin is really thick and a lot of people peel them. The insides are liquidy and full of seeds. Usually I see them sold waxed, another reason not to eat the skin. If you get them super fresh, they're delicious. If you let them sit, they turn rubbery and kind of horrible.

    I've seen this kind called varying things: English Cucumber, Seedless Cucumber, Long English Cucumber, Hothouse Cucumber. These are thinner and longer. The skin is not as thick and and easily edible. There aren't as many seeds inside. They're often sold individually wrapped in plastic. In spite of being called English, they are grown in California and locally in British Columbia among other places. These are my favorite kind.

    I will share a recipe for cucumber salad.

    Get a cucumber. Slice it lengthwise and then into half-slices. Add a TINY splash of vinegar. Add black pepper. That's it. Just eat it.

    My favorite cucumbers are Korean cucumbers. They're so crisp and delicious. My grandparents grow them in their backyard so it's pretty much all I ate growing up. I never had an English cucumber until my late teens and I didn't think they were all that great compared to the Korean ones.

    You should try and get your hands on it if you can! It's kinda pricey and I've only ever seen it at one restaurant and never in a retail store, but it's literally one of the best sodas I've ever had in my life. It is phenomenal.
