on the first...are you kidding me? Cucumbers have a distinct and significant flavor....more than peas, many potatoes, some tomatoes, string beans, etc. etc. [which really are almost celery strength] And the texture is perfect...just enough crunch [not too much like a carrot] and just enough juicy/slippery [unlike some tomatoes and watermelon].Avatar wrote:
Cucumbers are just green water. They even taste green. (Like celery does.)

On the joke....an oldie but goodie, always makes me snicker. There is some movie fairly recent [within a decade] that had that or a variation. Don't recall the set-up, but "eat the plank" punch was the same.
And in the Army, there were many variations involving the use of various equipment to prepare C-rations [c-rats don't exist anymore...I've heard the MRE's aren't that much of an improvement, but never tried them] then tossing the rations and eating the gear.
