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...

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

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

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.

I don't know if I'm caught in a Groundhog's Day scenario or something, but I swear I've seen you upload this video at least 16 times.

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.

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.

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.

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 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

Jerry JAmes Stone is it possible to make dill pickles using English cukes.

I choose English over regular . English look fresher to eat

[patrickormerod]

I don't believe there is a difference
