how do you eat cucumber

One of my daughters loves cucumber and will eat it like you would an apple but the rest of the family just won't eat at all. I pyhsically can't eat it and it repeats for hours after. Didn't realise you could cook it though. Ellie :D

I like my cucumbers fresh and raw. I like the crunchiness when I bite it. I like it in my salads and sandwiches. Sometimes I dip my cucumbers in thousand island or vinegar with sugar. I can also eat it plain. I haven't heard yet of cucumber being cooked except for pickles.

I do not believe I have ever had cucumbers cooked - the idea is very foreign to me. I can not even imagine how it would be cooked. I like my cucumbers raw and unless they are very young I like to have the seeds removed by slicing the cuke lengthwise and scraping them out with a spoon first. Zucchini I like both raw and cooked equally well.

Hello dear sophialin. I love to eat in salad with some sugar and vinegar or just eat it raw. I think that it is more tasty to eat this way. If it is cooked, I love to have some hot pepper in it.

I eat cucumber both raw and cooked. When I eat it raw, I make round slices, and dip it in the mixture of pepper and salt powder. I also make cucumber raitha. I grate it and mix it with curd/buttermilk and salt and season it with mustard and chillie. I cook it in two methods. 1. I dice the cucumber and cook it with minimum water. I add cooked moong dal to it along with desired amount of rock salt. Then add ground coconut, chilly and cumin seeds. The paste should be fine. Mix well and bring it to boil 2. Cook the diced cucumber add rock salt to it. Then add the ground paste of coconut, curryleaves, coriander leaves and cumin seeds. (The paste should be fine. Then bring it to boil. Once it is done. Remove from flame and add unsour curd. Season it with mustard in ghee.

I like to eat it raw also and dip on mix catchup and mayonnaise

i prefer to eat raw unless is bitter

i eat it raw

Cooked cucumber isn't my preferred way.Cucumber eaten raw is the best.Its heavy water content is its main USP and eating it cooked destroys it.I prefer eating it raw and sliced with pepper and spicy masalas sprinkled on the pieces.

I like to cut in small pieces vertically. Eat them raw with chilly sauce.It tastes good ! Sometimes, I cook it with small prawns.

I love eating it raw. I also use it in salads. But really can you cook cucumber. THis is new to me...

I love it as salad ;O)

I love to eat it always fresh with little salt and vinegar! hmmm..yummmy...Actually, I have never tried cooking it! maybe that is something we need to give a try here! lol

I must admit I've never had cucumbers cooked at all but I'd like to have your recipe. I mainly have them in salads and I've been meaning to try to make pickles with them. My late aunt used to make the most delicious sweet pickles which were very easy, you just put them in the refrigerator. Annie

I don't think I have ever eating cooked cucumbers. I like to eat cucumbers by just peeling them and eating them just like that. I ate them often as a snack while I was pregnant. I can't wait to get more I haven't had one in a while.

I am not crazy about cucumbers but i love pickles!! isn't that strange? I like cucumber sauce on gryos but i don't have a recipe for that...i think it might just be sour cream & cucumbers? that's what it tastes like at least!

Ok this may sound weird, but my dad started it when I was young and it just carried on with me. I like to take the cucumber, slice it, and peel it. soak it in vinager, water. After its done soaking i'll salt it a little and eat it. I like the twang that it gives.

I definitely prefer it raw, it has a great crunchy feel to it and it gives off a lovely amount of juice. I like to dip it into dips too, It is good in sandwiches with pate and all sorts of other fillings. Infact we only had some yesterday!
