I don't think I've ever peeled a cucumber.
I was told that most of the goodies in fruit and veg were in and just below the skin

I think cucumbers were considered the exception to that rule because that was definitely passed down by my grandmother.I don't think I've ever peeled a cucumber.

It is true for me personally. I always peel cucumbers.cucumbers do cause stomach ache
Me too. I've gotten to where I don't like the regular ones and quit buying them a decade ago. Too watery, too many seeds. I always leave the skin on the English cukes. I think with the seeded kind they wax them, too.Cukes always got peeled when I was a kid because of the type of cuke they were - very thick, tough skin.
Then, at point, we started seeing “English/Burpless” cukes sold in the stores, specifically marketed as having a very thin skin, meant for consuming (and very small seeds as well). That’s why they’re wrapped in thick plastic (here, at least), because they’re somewhat fragile.
Exactly right! The one I had for lunch today was exactly like the one pictured.This is what it looks like
More like this:This is what it looks like but the cut one in the pic has smaller seeds than they normally do. Normally they're quite pulpy.View attachment 116244
The seeds are healthier I'm sure. But the English variety works better in tzatziki. I think cucumber is good for digestion.Exactly right! The one I had for lunch today was exactly like the one pictured.
I recall some of my Grandma's friends removed the seeds prior to tzatziki, or the tarator soup...we did not. I don't mind the seeds. Probably a habit. As long as it is ok with my digestion, will proceed.
Excellent! Very good for you. And anyone possibly...ate a whole one
For some reason my DH doesn't love cucumber. He likes it in tzatziki sauce though.Excellent! Very good for you. And anyone possibly...

I think you mean grimacing face? I'm the same way with black coffee. It's way too bitter. But I like herbal tea and other kinds of tea.Naturally, everybody has his/her restrictions and preferences.
Last week, on our walk, I brought some homemade herbal icetea, and my boyfriend made a grinning face after the first sip. He simply does not like tea, and herbal in particular. He says it's only for sickness.
And he only had water later.
