Lacessit Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) My GF washes them, does not peel them. I am not going to give her any directions on how to prepare food for me, then I might have to do it myself. She does peel carrots and potatoes. I used to cook them skin on.

adammike Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 An old recipe,from a food critic in one of the Sunday papers if I remember right. Peel cucumber Slice lengthwise Take out pips with teaspoon. Slice thinly. Arrange on plate. Dress with vinegar oil,season Sprinkle herb of choice, dill or parsley? Then throw into bin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had considered base jumping but it looked too risky plus there have been far fewer fatalities eating cucumbers with the skin on. Man I haven't laughed that hard in while, thanks! Good question though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say I remember ever being served a dish in Thailand where the cucumber slices were not peeled. It must be peeled for 100%, otherwise I don't eat it.

hansnl Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Any vegetable, fruit or potatoe I buy and eat in Thailand is thoroughly washed and peeled before consumption. Too much poison. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it's easy, just go out and look at the cans of stuff they mix to spray the cucumbers and other vegetables near my house where they sell to markets. Thats why I grow my own.

I can't say I remember ever being served a dish in Thailand where the cucumber slices were not peeled. I do. I just bear this in mind: Does it matter if someone with COVID-19 coughed, sneezed, talked, or breathed too close to the apple you’re about to add to your cart? Are you at risk if someone with the virus on their fingers picked up that zucchini you need for dinner, then put it back on the shelf? Not to forget all those cucumbers, broccoli, carrots etc piled up on snot-flooded pavement. You can't help but admire those piles of tomatoes, radish and potatoes sprawled out nicely on phlegm-speckled footpaths. Ahh.. that familiar throaty raspy effort to expectorate a stubborn dose of zucchini coating. Edited January 20, 2021 by mvdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
userabcd Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Eat them both with and without the skin. Must be cleaned properly though before eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wokkawombat Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I peel all cucumbers whether in Thailand or in Australia. As a kid we ate apple cucs in OZ and they had prickles on them so peeling was essential. I do recall my mother would scrape them with the tines of a fork before slicing. I have no idea why she did this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stocky Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I always peel them for my cucumber sandwiches, and cut off the crusts too. Buttered bread, salt and pepper, none of this cream cheese or mayonnaise malarkey. Pip-pip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
