Trying to lose weight?
(lemmy.today)
That doesn't look bad?
That would be a nightmare to actually eat, the skin is fully intact.
Now, slice the cucumber normally and make little finger sandwiches with it, and that's actually pretty appealing.

You need to see a dentist if the skin on a cucumber is too much for you lol
~~It looks like a zucchini, not a cucumber~~
Edit: I am wrong
Those bumps are very cucumber
you know what, I'm not gonna have a fight over the Internet over whether or not a picture is of a zucchini or cucumber
You don't have a choice. I am already deploying soldiers to your location.
I've never had a cucumber with bumps on before.
Strange, most slicer varieties have at least some bumps, though not as pronounced as most picking varieties. Maybe you're used to Persians?
Wow, I never realised that cucumbers in America are different! Our variety is apparently the English one.
There are a bunch of different varieties! Sometimes the bumps on smaller cukes will even have little spikes.
It would be way too much cucumber for me, but this is right up some people's alley. My husband will eat an entire cucumber whereas I can only enjoy a few slices at a time.
I have celiac, and I'll sometimes use iceberg lettuce leaves as sandwich material. I prefer that because it's got a much milder flavor.
For me cucumber is just edible water, i can eat them instead of drinking, hydrohomies also like these water crunchies
I must detect a flavor that others don't because there's a pretty strong flavor for me that can't be ignored.
They sometimes make me burp, too. Maybe it's one of those genetic things because my dad has the same experience.
Don't get me wrong -- I really like cucumbers, especially ones fresh from the garden, but I'd never eat a big chunk in one sitting, unless it were a pickle.

That definitely is a thing! If you buy English/hothouse cucumbers instead of standard American cucumbers, they are less prone to causing this!
I don't think I could eat the whole thing like it's pictured, but imagine cutting it into like sushi sized pieces. I would 100% eat a few.
But I'm incredibly lazy so in reality I just shove the various ingredients in my face hole.
I'm sure the carbs are the problem, and totally not the half a kilo of ham and cheese filling.
That's cheese?? I thought it was mayo or something
I'm scared of it and I don't wanna ask.
Someone has to threaten me with physical violence or death for me to eat this shit
I'd try it, might be good
Yeah, that looks satisfyingly crunchy!
Honestly, I probably would as well.
Any similar alternative for someone who wants to eat less bread, but not lose weight?
I guess you could use a zucchini or an eggplant instead of a cucumber…
After math of James t kirk visiting orion.
That's a fruit
Botanically, yes. From a culinary perspective, no.
