Save more time and just throw out the whole cucumber. Genuinely the worst vegetable ever.
I believe that dishonour belongs to the chokoe
I nominate the turnip. There's a reason why it gets pickled. Because it's weird.
Turnip isnโt the most exciting vegetable but itโs certainly not the worst
Fully agree. I quite like it grated with a squeeze of lime/lemon on it and some black pepper. It has a unique sulfur laden burn but is also cool and refreshing. Peeling the turnip reduces the burn.
Tzaziki. Pickles. You shut your whore mouth.
No way. Cucumber soup on a hot day is the best. Cucumber, yogurt, mint, bit of water and salt & pepper. For those days when it's too hot to chew.
Try this:
Yogurt
Salt
Squeeze of Lime
Black pepper
diced tomatoes (optional)
Grated cucumber (into thin strips)
Give it a nice whirl and it makes an excellent side on a warm day!
I like that!
Cucumbers are just expensive crunchy water, does absolutely nothing for me. Delete this vegetable
:(
Cucumbers, capsicums, carrots, and lettuce are the only vegetables I actually like
Correction: celery is the worst vegetable ever. I will die on this hill.
Nope. โTis the perfect vehicle for conveying peanut butter into oneโs mouth
No, apple wins that title
Apple, cheese, & peanut butter!
If I ate peanut butter I would maybe, just maybe, feel differently. But I don't.
When I was a kid you used to be able to get a tray of soup/stew mixed veg from Safeway. I used to eat the celery, someone else the carrot. I can't remember what else was in there but all that would be left would be the turnip and the parsnip. No one wanted them.
Parsnips are delicious, fightme!
I don't want to fight you. You can have all the tasteless, colourless, pointless parsnips in the world. I will not be missing them.
Om nom nom
Somes Coleses still have those trays. So does Piedmontes.
