More Uses for Cucumbers

[mrs_overall]

(with apologies to Jemisa)
1. A cucumber slice makes an ideal sledge for a Borrower
2. Hollow out a cucumber lengthways, stick it in the parasol hole of your garden table and you have a windproof ashtray
3. Two cucumber slices threaded onto string and hung from your car mirror make an unusual alternative to furry dice
4. Cucumbers make an interesting addition to a salad

Anyone else got any (clean) novel ideas?

[petal54]

do find they can cause wind though,good ideas though

[rowanwitch]

they go rather well in Pimms I find....

They help hide the junk food in your shopping trolley

[tonyav]

Do you like them peeled or un peeled that is the question.

[rowanwitch]

peeled reduces the repeatability apparently

[Tilly2]

I've got a novel idea.

Place very thin slices of cucumber between thin slices of brown bread, cut off the crusts. Cut the bread into neat triangles.
Truely revolutionary....................cucumber sandwiches.

[tonyav]

My gran used to say that if they were peeled they are easier to digest.

[Tilly2]

Rowan which junk food is long and thin?

[Tilly2]

Sorry there should have been a comma after Rowan.

[rowanwitch]

flakes, curly wurleys, chocolate eclairs...

[mrs_overall]

Hmm, they'd be no good for hiding a 24 pack of crisps :-(

[tonyav]

Also Peperami's are long and thin.

[commoner]

Get a really,really long one and shove it up your....... down pipe to clear out the bird's nests.....

Butas I said earlier ..slice one and slice an onion...leave in chip shop vinegar for a few days and make gorgeous sarnies with it..mmm....

[chaptazbru]

commoner - you're not called George are you ???

[Tilly2]

My mum used to do that commoner. Stank the house out for days. (Not the drainpipe bit)
Should that be stunk?

[tonyav]

My gran also used to do that commoner.

[commoner]

...lol....WW2 favourite ...best though was Nestle's sweetened condensed milk sarnies....:-)

...and no chapt I am not calles George...lol

[askyourgran]

I still do it commoner, pickle the cucumber with sliced onion in vinegar and sugar. Lovely. Or it's rather nice in lemon juice.

Feed to tropical fish - our love it.

One Plec will take up residence on it as soon as it goes in the tank.
