So here's another fruit from the Montreal
market, the Jean Talon
Market-- I think I'm getting worse at this now.
So this is one that I've been using this as my
camera stand. Actually,
I'm using it right now as my camera stand. It came in one of these little containers like this. It is a very tiny little cucumber.
Look at that. Isn't that adorable? It looks like a little like baby gherkins that you can get.
Maybe that's where those come from.
But it was sold to me as a micro cucumber and,
yeah, I picked it up cause I've never seen anything this tiny. I've seen some small cucumbers,
but not any this tiny. And I believe this is related to the English cucumber...
maybe? You know, they're just like a you know
there are cucumbers here that are very like long and thin. They look like this, but like they are about yay
long, and like a little bit wider. I actually grabbed a slice of one from one of the tasting tables here.
They're about like that wide-- not as wide as your traditional cucumbers that you get in the US.
I'm not sure exactly what the name of this type of cucumber is. As you can see,
this one is, you know, much smaller than that
in circumference, but also length obviously.
This is just like the size of like my pinky.
I nabbed this just so I can get like kinda like a control
cucumber to compare this with. Cause cucumbers are such a mild fruit,
I think it probably would be like a handy thing to do. So I'm going to try this.
Tastes like a cucumber
maybe
nicer than the ones that, you know, we get in the US. It's got a nice crispiness to it,
it's got a little bit of a sweetness to it,
and a very strong
cucumber flavor-- much stronger
than the ones we got in the US that are like big and dark and thick. Like those ones
taste like cucumbers, but they're like very like watery, and the texture on them is kind of like
not so good-- a little more like spongy, not so crispy. So, let's see how this stacks up.
It's okay.
It's not great, honestly. It's got a lot more of a green flavor to it, like a lot more chlorophyll.
It tastes a little bit like a green bean. It does have like a cucumber flavor in it
but if you tweaked with it. If you kind of like...
You know cucumbers are a fruit that people use as a vegetable. This tastes more like a vegetable.
Yeah, interesting. I think I can probably think of a lot of things to do with this thing
but if I were to pick this up
expecting to use it as a
traditional cucumber,
it would work but it would definitely add more of a vegetable flavor
to what you're making, and be a little bit a little beanie tasting, a little greeny tasting, a little
vegetable tasting, but
not bad, just different. Different. You know, I like cucumbers and you know
honestly, if I were to sit down and just like eat cucumbers
I could do that. I wouldn't want to do it with this one. It's not nearly as refreshing as a normal cucumber.
This is more like something I would cook with, or put in something, than eat on its own.
But otherwise, it's pretty good. And it's adorable. That is the most important thing. If you want to eat nothing but adorable food,
this is a great one to pick up.
