I've not encountered waxed cucumbers. Apples and pears and lots of other fruit and veg yes, but lots of people eat those without peeling them, so yes, why not?
You're lucky! Lemons orange and all sorts get waxed. I hate it. It's why I try to grow a lot of my own stuff. It was worse in the UK though because fruit and veg had to travel so far to get to the shops, so it was waxed to keep it fresh(er).
Here, if it’s labeled organic, it can’t be waxed, so that’s why I usually buy organic citrus, because I almost always want the zest for something, and I don’t want to have to do the vinegar wash they recommend to remove the wax.
Cause it tastes and feels yucky!
Maybe it is different wax in the US?
I don’t really notice it much when I eat an apple, but for some reason, it bothers me with the citrus zest, probably because I can see it curling off if I look really closely.
Once the novelty wears off, you can make it an occasional thing and not a frequent one.I'm liking this waffle fries slicer thing but it's not doing anything for my saturated fat and salt intake. Tastes good though so state of mind thing.
I like my new waffle maker. Cuisinart with a thermostat and it does that flip it over thing.
I went the cheap route and just bought a little mini one, since I will only be using it for a platform for waffle hashbrowns to top with eggs for DH's breakast (I think). It's living in the pantry for now. I have a big workweek coming up so I don't know how much "real" cooking I will get done!
I love waffles. Next time you do waffles, take some cooked bacon and put it on top of the batter before you close it. It bakes right in!
