    Is this “don’t buy too much cucumbers, you don’t need then”-awareness month? Asking for a friend

      One time my dad gave me 37 cucumbers from his friend’s farm, and I was just sitting there staring at a fridge completely full of cucumbers displacing everything else like what the hell do I do with 37 cucumbers???

      Most recipes online are like, use 1 cucumber and 8 potatoes… I need a much higher cucumber to everything else ratio. I eventually found an ancient website online from the 90’s outlining someone’s grandma’s recipe for peasant Polish soup from “the war”. It was like a whole damn cucumber quest.

      It was ok. Really made you feel like a peasant.

        That’s quite a story. Cucumber soup sounds not good. Agua fresca is the way to go. Maybe make a Japanese Sunomono salad. Obviously just make pickles.

          Yeah I didn’t know about this back then, and I didn’t think of pickles for some reason. I was hyper fixated on a “meal” solution

            Idk about you but pickles can be a meal, maybe add some deli meat, cheese, and crackers, but honestly just pickles is good too.
