Cucumber, because fuck cucumber.

With the caveat that if it's small and you pickle it, I'm down.

Besides that, and I can't express this more clearly, FUCK CUCUMBER. Infects everything it touches, permeates the air, tastes like old water, smells like... Foetid moss or watery algae.

I gather the hatred some people like me carry for pukecumber has a genetic root.

This does not spark cucumber

Good answer.

Sorry but you are a big fan of cucumber.

As someone who loves both pickles and cucumbers, I couldn't disagree more.

If I'm craving one and someone hands me the other, I'll be upset.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Right‽ I love both, but don't you ever fucking give me one when I asked for the other. I'll cut a bitch.

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 2 points 3 weeks ago

I'm a big fan of vinegar. You could pickle all kinds of awful foodstuffs and I'll eat them.

I'm with you. I've tried it a bunch of times since so many people seem to like cucumbers, cucumber water, cucumber in sushi, cucumber gin, and whatever else. I don't like pickles either. I just cannot cuke.
