Don't have the moustache by choice....the wife won't let me shave it off

Dr. Mordrid

It's actually a cucumber.

We should swap wives! Mine won't let me grow one

In the UK we like our cucumbers smooth too. Its really difficult to find them smooth on our frequent trips to Spain, and any we grow at home always end up knobbly too. They still taste good though

[schmosef]

In the grocery store here we have "English cucumbers" and they are smooth.

Regular cucumbers are knobbly.

I would say that the smooth ones sell more but the knobbly ones seem to have more flavour. I think that's the result of mass production of the smooth ones.

Yup. Here the smooth ones are considered "hothouse hybrids", carry a premium price and are seedless/"burpless", but IMO the plain old fashioned cukes are far more flavorful.

Dr. Mordrid

[Nowhere]

And only them can be pickled with great succes

[Dr Mordrid]

Exactly, especially if you make the dills I do: they bite back

Dr. Mordrid

[Gurm]

Yes. The "burpless cucumbers" cost more and are less seedy, I'm not sure why they're called "burpless", maybe they induce less gas? I don't know. But they are BORING AND BLAND. Kinda like those genetically modified BIG OL RED TOMATOES that taste like cardboard.

Little pickling cukes are where it's at. Mmm mmm good!

Nothing beats home grown thou!
We've tried various varieties, and ALL are better than anything you'd find in a grocery store.

HEY!, I thought this was an introduction thread.
Ok, Ok, I'll post a Pic when I can get ahold of a camera

And Gurm, stop hijacking the thread !!!
