24. I don't like cucumber salad that much, only it it is made with rice
vinegar, sind of sweet, kind of sour. The rice vinegar makes the cucumber salad.

4. I forced down half a slice in a salad I bought for lunch
I really, really don't like cucumber. But supposedly it's good for you.

CRAZY, the both of yas.

What's your favorite veggie? Not that the cuke is mine, but... just asking. I'm curious like a cat. I have a couple of friends that call me whiskers.

16. Water chestnuts are weird.
They stay crunchy when no other veggie will. It's unnatural.

15. Yeah
I made it up, and it was delish. I picked some beautiful cukes out of my garden last week and wanted to try something a little different. Oh, I forgot -- a little dill weed, too.

33. A resounding Yes!
I made it one way this weekend with diced onions, tomatoes, mayo, and sliced cucumbers which was good. I need to get a veggie slicer so I can slice the cucumbers paper thin and put vinegar, sugar, and onions all together. Let that sit overnight in the fridge and mmmmmmmmm!
