What is the point of a Cucumber ?

So today I was eating a sandwich , and contained inside were some thick slices of Cucumber.

I suddenly thought to myself , surely this is the most pointless foodstuff known to man :confused:

It doesnt taste of anything at all :rolleyes:

As far I know they are not even particularly rich in vitamins etc.
So my question is , why do we eat them?

Im afraid I get no enjoyment whatsover from eating Cucumber.
It just seems like a waste of time :(

    They're quite nice pickled.




    Or you could use them as a sex toy.

    Celery is the same, I read somewhere if you ate Celery you'd die, apparently you expend more calories eating it, than you actually get from the Celery.

    Most veg bought from supermarkets is bland. If you grow your own, you'll taste the difference :)

    This is what the old guy next door is saying. If you grow your own then they actually taste of something. Same with Tomatoes he reckons :cool:

    I asked for a side salad in Cyprus while on holiday and they came out with a plate of Tomatos and lettuce. I looked at it and thought what a boring plate of food. I went ahead and tried it and I had the same side salad with every meal for the entire holiday. The difference in taste to the tomatoes in the supermarket here was amazing

    I find they tantalize the tastebuds in a way a tomato can only dream about.

    Some people on here have got filthy minds :o

    Sexual things with a cucumber ooh I say :eek:

    Thinking about it , its all our own fault as consumers for wanting pile-em-high , sell-em-cheap vegetables and fruit.
    We need more shops like Arkwright's in Open All Hours :D

    The vegetables you buy in the supermarket are grown on a sterile sponge in a laboratory and drip fed distilled water. The ones you grow in your garden are covered in worm excrement and cat's piss.

    Really great porn???

    We still do - but they're all in Leeds/Bradford and no longer run by people with names like...um...Arkwirght...:p

    P.S. we got to like supermarkets. Fast, reliable convenience shopping...as fast as last year's Grand National winner!

    Are you all crazy? I love cucumber. And I like cucumber soup. It tastes so fresh. I can't stand it when people cut off the dark green outside, that's where most of the flavour is.

    One of my favourite salad recipes is Fagioli beans with tomatoes, cucumber, sweetcorn and sometimes red pepper or tuna with balsamic vinegar for dressing. Just thinking about it, I'm dying for spring to come along!
