Slicing Cucumbers vs English Cucumbers

[@mainaheart99]

My mind is blown. The "english" cucumber is the one I call normal (in Germany). The american cucumber just seems kinda impractical with the skind, seeds and such...

[@jerryjamesstone]

oh funny

[@emjay2045]

American ones Made for “pickling.”

[@anwar19khan]

You should cut an English cucumber in the video while you were describing it! All we saw the standard cucumber only.

[@jerryjamesstone]

ok

[@christianramirez8234]

Nice work on the vid. Really helpful 👍🏻

[@jerryjamesstone]

Thx!

As an English person I’d say that ‘normal/slicing cucumber’ is a courgette. Great for roasting especially with other Mediterranean vegetables or as a pizza topping. Whereas the ‘English cucumber’ is great for salads & sandwiches or to use in sushi.

[@jerryjamesstone]

Sounds great!

Hello! Can I make cucumber water with the english cucumber? If so do I have to peel it? Thank you.

[@jakehall6227]

From a Brit... You don't have to peel it

[@jerryjamesstone]

yes and yes

[@eg1197]

Thanks for information about the cuke. Never bough English cuke. Now I know the difference. And tempted to try using the English for juicing as whole.

[@jerryjamesstone]

I love them.

I’d like to know which variety is the smooth skin “mini cucumbers” from the supermarket. I have been growing cucumbers in my backyard, it is just labeled as “slice master”. Tired to grow the “pickle” variety as well. while it is “mini”, it is nothing like the “mini cucumbers”...too many spikes and sometimes bitter.

I love a cucumber 🥒 sandwich with butter and salt and pepper.

[@jerryjamesstone]

Yum

[@hughkirk3946]

What about the flavor of each one? I find that the English cucumber is a lighter, sweeter and all around has a better flavor profile than regular ones, flesh and skin. However, I do enjoy regular cucumbers during season.

[@jerryjamesstone]

agree on flavor

[@halloweenville1]

Cold Cucumber Pasta, Cut the English cucumber into thin strips, or use some machine to do it if you have one, throw in some cold Mascarpone sauce and grated cheddar, you have yourself a great afternoon snack.

[@jerryjamesstone]

[@leaf3935]

Hello james, I love your channel.

[@jerryjamesstone]

Thx!!!

[@MICKYSTATEN]

Do they taste the same?

[@jerryjamesstone]

more or less, yes. slicing ones have a thicker skin and are meatier, but english have fewer seeds so less bitter

[@muchoproblem]

The english taste a lot sweet and better, no need to ad anything to eat just wash it and eat it.

[@hsmith1180]

I thought the wrapped one was Lebanese cucumber. I had no idea there was something called "slicing cucumber". Our normal cuke is fatter with light green to white skin

[@jerryjamesstone]

yah, ididnt call them that growing up

[@lindabarraza9460]

I Love the English cucumber.

[@jerryjamesstone]

[@mermaidlu5125]
