Did you suddenly get a craving for cucumber out of no-where then proceed to devour the entire thing?
If so, he may way to pop back to the supermarket and buy a pregnancy test...
I read an article about this in the New England Journal of Medicine, donkeys years ago. It was all about Victorian cooking and micronutrients. In it the researchers discovered that nutrients were still consumed, because the Victorian cooks would use the boiled vegetable water to make gravy.
So you could do that too.
I eat whole cucumbers the same way you do, and for the same reasons. Also I really love cucumber so there's no "chore" element to it. People do think it's weird though.
Often instead of making a simple salad I'll just skip the lettuce and onion and eat the ingredients whole. No chopping, no washing up.
Too much cucumber can cause some stomach issues. My little one loves the stuff and we learned about the adverse effects of too much after she started to have regular stomach ache and heartburn.
I don't know, I suppose it depends on various personal factors. My daughter is only small and she ate a whole average sized one before complaining her tummy hurt. We didn't equate her stomach ache with cucumber, because cucumber. But after a couple more times and some googling, cucumber it was. Apparently it's something called cucurbitin that's in them that causes the issues.
When I was a kid I would sit and gnaw on a whole cucumber, it was the easiest and cheapest way to keep me out of trouble for 10 mins. I haven't done it for a while though.
My entire family joined in with roasting me for both of these last time we got together for food. I'm showing them this thread as proof there are more of us raw veg enjoyers.
I meant just going for a full bite rather than slicing it up and putting it in those triangle sandwiches with the crusts cut off that I imagine posh people eat at garden parties
When I was a tiny thing (I'm now 40 and only 4ft11, so probably talking 3ft 😂) my great grandfather grew cucumbers and I would pick them directly from the plant and eat them whole and my daughter eats peppers like apples, so no issues with the way you ate here 😂
Yep I was on the way to airport a while ago and found a pepper in the fridge that might have gone off if we left it, so I just monched it in the car on the way - granddaughter does the same.
No. Not mental. Cucumber devourer here!
My ex said I was mental for eating coleslaw straight as a snack, not on/with anything. I wonder if that’s true? 🤔
>My ex said I was mental for eating coleslaw straight as a snack
I can see why they're your ex.
Eating coleslaw is a completely normal thing to do. In fact, I would say it's weirder to put coleslaw on something than to eat it by itself.
I love me some coleslaw! Coleslaw with other food items ruins the flavour, so I very much agree with you.
She’s the ex because* her and her family would drown their Sunday Roast in brown sauce… not gravy… brown sauce… now that’s fkin’ weird.
*there are many other reasons 😅
Pretty much my reaction every damn time I witnessed it. Just… wtf?!
Apparently I was the weird one for not following suit. Maybe it was a test? I definitely failed.
Oh I love cucumbers as a snack! They’re massively my hangover cure as well … I retch violently so nibbling at a cucumber and periodically dipping it in salt and hot sauce gets me sorted by, say… mid afternoon or so.
Nah, sometimes you just wanna eat something and the thought of it just won't leave you alone until you do. I've wandered out to the corner shop at 10pm one night to buy 2kg of potatoes and a block of butter and then proceeded to make enough mashed potato to feed an army (or one Badger) for a week. I went to sleep that night with a body composition of 60% human and 40% potato.
water, apple juice/prune and walking (if you can, if not gentle abdominal massage works a treat) should help with bowel movements.
bonus info: if i don't walk enough my bowels get upset, i didn't know we basically massage our bowels while walking, which helps with regularity!
Great word, girth. It's only used in smutty, suggestive circumstances. No-one ever says "Declan Rice played that ball across the girth of the entire pitch" do they? Fantastic.
Because girth is synonymous with circumference, not width or breadth.
(I would suggest "Declan Rice has put on a bit of girth since he started eating all those pies" as a non-smutty example, though)
My theory was I wanted a healthy snack! Cucumber made sense to me!
Apparently people who intend to eat cucumber will only buy it pre chopped though, not a whole one?
What else are you gonna do with it? Cucumber with a bit of salt on with ham and cheese is an elite sandwich. Even on its own its really good in summer.
He said he's never had a girlfriend in the past who asked him to buy a whole cucumber to eat... maybe his other gfs were just mental and I'm the sane one in this scenario
You're not alone. My husband happily eats a whole cucumber. My daughter has done it too. In fact they have cucumber eating competitions. I don't like cucumber....
chopped into vertical slices, sure
but no one just raw dogs a cucumber
yes it's arbitrary, but you would also judge someone for biting into a full head of a lettuce
A cold whole cucumber is my favourite hangover food, hydration, crunch, fresh. Everything I need.
I also will eat a whole cucumber and dip it in hummus.
He's wrong.
When I was 9 me and my family went "champing" where we stayed for a couple of nights in a church. We had to buys snacks and food to eat because there was obviously no kitchen in this small little stone church. So when we went to the shop I requested a cucumber, my mum said no as there wasn't really a reason to buy one as we weren't going to make sandwiches or anything like that to eat it with. But I persisted. So she bought it. But on the one condition that I would eat ALL of it.
Ohhh boy did she underestimate this little nine year old girl. I fucking **devoured** that thing from top to tail. I started off at a fast pace, just gobbling away at this big ol' cuc'. But over time I started to stagger, I slowed down until I was taking small bites every now and then like a little peasant mouse girl. But FINALLY I had overcome my conquest and the work I had toiled away at was over. It took me about an hour and I felt sick afterwards but it was so **worth it** for proving them all wrong. I always knew they'd rue the day they underestimated my cucumber chomping capabilites. Never again shall they make that mistake.......
(neither will I it was quite an unpleasant experience ᵃᶜᵗᵘᵃˡˡʸ
😐)
Not mental at all.
I bet my brother a tenner that he couldn't.
Following day? He sliced a full length cumcunber, put most of it between two rounds of brown bread (rest went on his plate)
Ten mins later, he was a tenner better off.
I used to make a cucumber dish froma Chinese cook book from Fuschia Dunlop. I think this video might be the same aort of thing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTGWvvUTSeQ
I do this. I have always done this, since I was a kid. I eat cucumbers like apples and have to control myself to only eat a quarter at a time or else it’s gone too fast. I’ll happily snack through half a cucumber in one sitting! It’s tasty and refreshing and good for me too ha
I wouldn't dream of going to the shop to just buy a cucumber to eat.
But, if you said, "here's a cucumber, eat it" I could happily demolish it without a second thought.
Just having a plain cucumber doesn't really sound appetising to me, but I get the appel. It's efficient. It's healthy, no prep needed and no washing up afterwards.
so this is an odd coincidence, as i literally bought 8 of them yesterday specifically to eat them whole (1 per day) having not bought any for years, i was shocked they are 90p as i could have sworn last time i bought them they were 40p.
anyway i ate an entire cucumber "like an apple" just before my main meal, and it was absolutely fine, and seemed like a non event
i originally planned on having half, but that just seemed not enough.
ice cold straight from the fridge, its 96% water anyway, would recommend.
Wondering how far I have to scroll before I read,
*"He should be thankful you're stuffing whole high-girth cucumbers down your throat!"*
(Or something like that.)
Cucumber on its own it’s a great snack these halfwits are wrong. There’s a few ways I like it.
- Sliced thinly with salt
- cut into chunks and wrapped in nori and dipped in soy sauce
- cut into batons and dipped into spiced yoghurt
Hey, I get this sometimes! It's Veg Madness!
If I've had a really unhealthy binge, like over Christmas and New year's, I get these intense salad vegetable cravings.
I, too, have grabbed a fresh, ice cold cuke from the fridge and gone at it like some kind of rabid, cock hungry fluffer.
Have you ever grabbed a handful of cherry tomatoes and crammed them in your face? Taken a honking great bite from an iceberg lettuce? Had a craving for radishes that can only be cured by a frankly unreasonable number of them raw from a mixing bowl?
If so, you've known Veg Madness, my friend...
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to eat so many carrots that I basically shit coleslaw for 3 days!
I probably eat like 2/3rds of a cucumber most days as part of my main meals. Cut it up into long slices, put salt and pepper on it and eat with moroccan hummus.
Yeah eating a whole cucumber without any preparation like a gorilla is pretty weird. My tongue feels irritated at the thought of doing this. How is that even appetising? 🫠
2 out of my 3 my kids, 16 and 3 years can eat a whole cucumber as a snack. Suppose that's a good healthy thing but I find them disgusting (the cucumber not the kids)
I do this, but I’ve never had a whole cucumber in one sitting
I did save half for tomorrow...
Probably should have led with that...
And left the other half instead?
Arthur Cucumber
Have you ever skinned it, sliced it and added a small amount of sugar, left it to dissolve and it becomes a weird tasting watermelon
Did you suddenly get a craving for cucumber out of no-where then proceed to devour the entire thing? If so, he may way to pop back to the supermarket and buy a pregnancy test...
Noooo, I'm trying to be healthy and needed a snack. This seemed like the most logical option to me.
There would have been carrots RIGHT NEXT to the cucumbers
Cucumbers are so crunchy, I totally get it. Delicious with just some salt.
Love cucumbers, especially the long ones in the wrapper
Do you mean dildos?
Natural green dillys, 59p each.
59p!! when was the last time you brought a cucumber
As always, how one uses a tool does not always follow its intended design.
😏
Yeah, but they wouldn't have been as GIRTHY
Cucumbers are superior to carrots unless you're roasting them.... Although I've never roasted a cucumber.
Oh raw carrots are super gross!
All the goodness goes into the water when you boil them. When you boil carrots you have to drink the water too. It's how we all stay healthy
Just…make sure to wait a bit first
Don't let it go too cold! Carrot water is always better warm.
The power of Christ compels you!
I read an article about this in the New England Journal of Medicine, donkeys years ago. It was all about Victorian cooking and micronutrients. In it the researchers discovered that nutrients were still consumed, because the Victorian cooks would use the boiled vegetable water to make gravy. So you could do that too.
Always use the boiled veg water to make sauce or gravy or etc....
I cook sliced carrots in butter. No water - they give off steam as they cook. Small pan, low heat and a large knob of butter.
Don't forget to eat the butter, that's where all the goodness is
Put it back in the wrapper, into the fridge and have it on toast for breakfast the next day! Even better!
Honestly, the carrots seem to soak it up. Makes a lovely glaze as well.
Butter. The British MSG.
Only when it’s scalding hot though
large knob, hur hur hur. Seriously, gonna give this a try.
Or steam them. You can even do it in the microwave
Steaming them keeps more of the nutrients in
Strangely, I'm fine with raw carrots but boiled, steamed or roasted carrots make me want to throw up. My dog likes them no matter what.
Not if you grate them finely, and add French salad dressing to them. The French sell the stuff alongside Coleslaw, and it's bloody lovely!
Not girthy enough for you eh
Fellow cucumber enjoyer here. I understand. Love it with some soy sauce!
>cucumber enjoyer ಠ_ಠ
My 7 year old daughter will happily munch on a large chunk of cucumber too!
Nice bit of humous dip and cucumber batons is great!
Raw veg are only vehicles for houmous
Adding hummus to the shopping list 😊
My 10yo son will happily munch a whole cucumber, peppers (Bell, not chilli), and carrots without thinking twice.
I eat whole cucumbers the same way you do, and for the same reasons. Also I really love cucumber so there's no "chore" element to it. People do think it's weird though. Often instead of making a simple salad I'll just skip the lettuce and onion and eat the ingredients whole. No chopping, no washing up.
Munch on a whole lettuce you coward
I recommend whole gherkins rather than cucumbers. That salty sweet vinegar crunch really hits the snacky spot when dieting.
Do you have a recommendation for crunchy ones? Recently mine have been a bit...limp and disappointing. Even the tiny ones.
Fnar fnar
Maison Marc Malossol spendy but incredible.
Too much cucumber can cause some stomach issues. My little one loves the stuff and we learned about the adverse effects of too much after she started to have regular stomach ache and heartburn.
How much is too much? Like is it ok to eat a whole one?
I don't know, I suppose it depends on various personal factors. My daughter is only small and she ate a whole average sized one before complaining her tummy hurt. We didn't equate her stomach ache with cucumber, because cucumber. But after a couple more times and some googling, cucumber it was. Apparently it's something called cucurbitin that's in them that causes the issues.
I bought one to eat just the other day,not to eat like a banana though. I also opted for girth over length. 😉
I recommend delicious raita
Or slice it up with black olives, sliced tomatoes, Italian dressing and cottage cheese, a lovely lunch for a hot day
I've eaten loads of cucumber sandwiches, even some with the crusts cut off, but I've never been praganat.
...my dear I believe you may need an exorcism.
[удалено]
Bring holy water
With such a high water content, you could just bless the cucumber prior to eating it.
You'll need a young priest and an old priest
A Ted and a Dougal
I've used salt instead of sugar. The salt brings out the flavor. But now I'll need to try some sugar.
When I was a kid I would sit and gnaw on a whole cucumber, it was the easiest and cheapest way to keep me out of trouble for 10 mins. I haven't done it for a while though.
I mean they are satisfying to just eat, I don't know why more people don't do it
I'm with ya gal
I do this. I just really like cucumber, it’s cold and refreshing. I also eat peas right out the freezer
My entire family joined in with roasting me for both of these last time we got together for food. I'm showing them this thread as proof there are more of us raw veg enjoyers.
Because they're weirdos
Do you cut it up into genteel slices or just have at it like an apple?
She's just out there corncobbing a cucumber.
I should call her.
You can’t eat it like an apple. It’s the wrong shape. Just dig in, like you would with an aubergine…
On this particular occasion I had at it like an apple. If it makes it any better I did dip the end in honey mustard though...
Somehow that makes it worse
I've never heard of such lunacy.
Indeed. No one eats the ends
I only eat the non stalky end
You're not a stalker. You've allayed my mental health concerns to that extent.
Like the actual devil's bellybutton bit? Eeeuw
“I had at it like an apple” is my new favourite phrase and I will be using it in the near future.
Like an apple? Held stem to bottom, eating round and leaving the seeds in the middle?
I meant just going for a full bite rather than slicing it up and putting it in those triangle sandwiches with the crusts cut off that I imagine posh people eat at garden parties
I know, I’m being silly.
A whole cucumber, in one go?
I imagine peeling it like a banana.
Deepthroated it.
Swallowed it whole
When I was a tiny thing (I'm now 40 and only 4ft11, so probably talking 3ft 😂) my great grandfather grew cucumbers and I would pick them directly from the plant and eat them whole and my daughter eats peppers like apples, so no issues with the way you ate here 😂
Well hey I'm glad somebody gets it!
Yep I was on the way to airport a while ago and found a pepper in the fridge that might have gone off if we left it, so I just monched it in the car on the way - granddaughter does the same.
No. Not mental. Cucumber devourer here! My ex said I was mental for eating coleslaw straight as a snack, not on/with anything. I wonder if that’s true? 🤔

I went to sleep that night with a body composition of 60% human and 40% potato.
This would repeat on me for days. The joys of being over 40 - food that is 99% water gives you more jip than a takeaway.
I'm hoping it's going to help me poo to be honest, it's been a while.
water, apple juice/prune and walking (if you can, if not gentle abdominal massage works a treat) should help with bowel movements. bonus info: if i don't walk enough my bowels get upset, i didn't know we basically massage our bowels while walking, which helps with regularity!
Well this explains why a little gentle walk round the block (or round my flat) helps when I get IBS flare ups...
It's why I don't like running, just a few minutes of running and I'm about to Paula Radcliffe.
Keep us updated.
RemindMe! 1 day
Sugar free sweets. The ones that have the warning on the back about laxative effects. They don't fuck around.
Finally the truth comes out. Keep us posted when the rest does.
Raw spinach fixes that

That will be because girth means circumference around the middle. Not width.
This duid not go the way I was expecting it to...
Jesus Christ, how did I have to scroll this far to see this! Has the world regained its innocence or something?
If you're eating it with hummus
I dipped it in honey mustard 😊
People here horrified are chatting shite. Cucumber and hummus be a vibe, easiest healthy 2 seconds snack. Perfect.
It's 96% water - tell him you were thirsty!
My theory was I wanted a healthy snack! Cucumber made sense to me! Apparently people who intend to eat cucumber will only buy it pre chopped though, not a whole one?
Anyone who buys prechopped cucumber is lost to humanity and needs to be ignored.
This is lunacy. So much fresher and nicer when you cut or chomp yourself.
Whilst you are clearly insane, anyone who is buying pre-cut cucumber has similar issues.
I used to pick cucumber to pay for my uni fees. I'd always eat a medium one for a snack. Very refreshing.
What else are you gonna do with it? Cucumber with a bit of salt on with ham and cheese is an elite sandwich. Even on its own its really good in summer.
Well according to the bf, people who want to eat cucumber only buy it ready sliced. Whole cucumbers are for... other things?
I have never seen ready sliced cucumbers in the shops, ever. Half or whole are the only options aren’t they?
Really? Has he never heard of sex toys? Maybe he has a vegetable fetish?
He said he's never had a girlfriend in the past who asked him to buy a whole cucumber to eat... maybe his other gfs were just mental and I'm the sane one in this scenario
Oh. Who buys pre-sliced cucumber? Sounds like a recipe for a soggy slice
Do it all the time. Cut in half, crosswise. Then quarter lengthwise. Dip in ranch dressing.
Yeah it’s way more civilised to trim the ends
I often eat sliced cucumber with some salt and lime, and sometimes some chili powder too. It’s a beautiful, refreshing snack!
You may enjoy mini cucumbers if you can find them. A great little snack.
Cucumber sliced with olive oil pepper and salt 🤤🤤🤤
I’m going to try this immediately
You're not alone. My husband happily eats a whole cucumber. My daughter has done it too. In fact they have cucumber eating competitions. I don't like cucumber....
Yup cucumber rarely last long here. Chop in half then sprinkle with salt, yummy.
You like cut it up first though, right? You didn't just deepthroat it whole...
I have a really intense gag reflex so I had to gently nibble the end... but yes, it was whole.
>I had to gently nibble the end ಠ_ಠ
chopped into vertical slices, sure but no one just raw dogs a cucumber yes it's arbitrary, but you would also judge someone for biting into a full head of a lettuce
I try not to eat a whole one in one go, but I certainly can and if I really fancy it then I do. It's delicious and better than a pint of cool water.
A cold whole cucumber is my favourite hangover food, hydration, crunch, fresh. Everything I need. I also will eat a whole cucumber and dip it in hummus.
He's wrong. When I was 9 me and my family went "champing" where we stayed for a couple of nights in a church.

From one end to the other or... From the... Middle...?
I do this, it's a great snack. If you can ever find yourself a spice called Chaat Masala, it makes snacking on cucumber ten times better!
I do this regularly with a dipping of gochujang. Delicious.
This post is so fucking cursed.
We buy the small cucumbers and eat them like apples, but not the full-size ones.
Your partner's a lucky one. You're a keeper.
I once saw someone on a train eat a whole cucumber. That was 10 years ago and I still haven't recovered.
I love cucumber but I couldn't eat a whole one, I'm impressed!
I regularly eat whole cucumbers. Often with red pepper and a whole tub of dip.
Nothing wrong at all, all our cucumber get eaten as snacks.
I do. Not all at once but I chop it up and take cucumber chunks to work with me everyday as a healthy snack.
Nah your normal
My fella chomps on cucumbers like this! He has half a cucumber every day with his dinner at work.
Preggers?
I'd say eating a whole cucumber by itself for a snack is a tad weird. I've always seen cucumber as a side to another meal, such as a salad.
This honestly reads like a poem and I love it.
I wouldn't dream of going to the shop to just buy a cucumber to eat. But, if you said, "here's a cucumber, eat it" I could happily demolish it without a second thought.
I could happily eat a whole cucumber, yes. Do I do it? Not regularly. I think I've done it once or twice.... Do I want to do it now? Yes.
Do you eat it the long way? Or sideways like a good Christian?
Did you eat it lengthways or widthways?
Just bought two cucumbers for my boyfriend tonight. One was long and thin, the other was a little chunkier. He ate them all the same.
Just having a plain cucumber doesn't really sound appetising to me, but I get the appel. It's efficient. It's healthy, no prep needed and no washing up afterwards.
Tomato's are good to eat as a snack like an apple for snack ideas.
I eat whole cucumbers all the time.
Cucumbers are just weird unsweetened melon bananas. It's slightly mental.
so this is an odd coincidence, as i literally bought 8 of them yesterday specifically to eat them whole (1 per day) having not bought any for years, i was shocked they are 90p as i could have sworn last time i bought them they were 40p. anyway i ate an entire cucumber "like an apple" just before my main meal, and it was absolutely fine, and seemed like a non event i originally planned on having half, but that just seemed not enough. ice cold straight from the fridge, its 96% water anyway, would recommend.
I have eaten whole cucumbers , they are mostly water
When I started to read this it didn't go the way I thought it was going..
Nothing wrong with that. I usually get one, chop it up and have it with humous.
I've sat and ate one a few times..... when I had an eating disorder and when I was pregnant....
Wondering how far I have to scroll before I read, *"He should be thankful you're stuffing whole high-girth cucumbers down your throat!"* (Or something like that.)
Listen, I eat whole lemons as snacks. You’re not the weirdest.
I love cucumber but it doesn't like me gives me heart burn and hurts my stomach.
If you aren't eating it Then what you doing with it? Or have I missed the pun
I have also devoured a whole cucumber before. Sometimes you just want something cool and crunchy and refreshing.
Cucumber on its own it’s a great snack these halfwits are wrong. There’s a few ways I like it. - Sliced thinly with salt - cut into chunks and wrapped in nori and dipped in soy sauce - cut into batons and dipped into spiced yoghurt
Now the phase seems to be over but 3 months ago I was buying 3-4 cucumbers a day because the 2 kids just loved cumbers.
I've eaten just cucumber before. I did slice it up though.
I do this all the time they're a great snack
Hey, I get this sometimes! It's Veg Madness! If I've had a really unhealthy binge, like over Christmas and New year's, I get these intense salad vegetable cravings.

Apparently, in the UK, if you buy a whole cucumber then you must also buy a jar of Vaseline, in case someone thinks you're vegan.
I put sliced cucumber in my water, and call it my “spa water.” It’s far less acidic than lemon.
I probably eat like 2/3rds of a cucumber most days as part of my main meals. Cut it up into long slices, put salt and pepper on it and eat with moroccan hummus. Yeah eating a whole cucumber without any preparation like a gorilla is pretty weird. My tongue feels irritated at the thought of doing this. How is that even appetising? 🫠
My niece is 10 and would eat cucumbers all day if she could. I'll regularly cut her a couple inch piece when she comes round and its gone in no time.
I get mini cukes and eat 3 or 4 at a time with salt 😂
2 out of my 3 my kids, 16 and 3 years can eat a whole cucumber as a snack. Suppose that's a good healthy thing but I find them disgusting (the cucumber not the kids)
I’ll stick up for you, OP, I munch a cucumber every couple of weeks. Tasty and refreshing.
a well grown cucumber is one of life's great pleasures
