cucumbers are tasteless. i hate them. they're like grassy water. i don't know what's the appeal, really

tomatoes are the real ones though

@mynameistillian peppers had no idea what they were getting into when they decided to use chemical warfare.

@mynameistillian pickles tho

i remembered that i like them only when they're salted and then i realized it's because all the salt required for me to make them edible literally drowns out all the taste 😭😭😭

@mynameistillian a little salt gives them taste. and not just a salty one

@mynameistillian I grew up in the UK, where cucumbers are tasty and tomatoes are flavourless red blobs!

@samir sending prayers 🙏

@samir @mynameistillian true for both tomatoes and cucumbers: you gotta eat the small ones. The big ones are terrible

@samir yall missing out

@schratze @samir depends on the variety imho. but cucumbers for me suck all across the board more or less

@mynameistillian @samir I used to be in the same boat as you. I still hate the average large cucumber. Tastes like a whole lot of nothing with a little plastic and death in the mix, and that taste lingers for hours.

But I discovered a while ago that those small cucumbers have a lot more flavor in them and they actually taste like vegetable. I love putting them in tzatziki or in a salad

@mynameistillian @schratze I’m probably biased because cucumbers for me are inexorably linked with raita.

Now I live close enough to Italy, so the tomatoes… there is no comparison.

@samir @mynameistillian ohhh I never knew it was called "raita" despite having dipped naan into it dozens of times 😅
