Cucumber spears to dip in ranch dressing: Peeled or unpeeled?

Comments

I vote for unpeeled.

[hellosarah.livejournal.com]

Peeled if someone else is preparing them, unpeeled if I have to cut them up myself.


(Am I lazy or what??)

Out of a garden, unpeeled. From the supermarket with wax and shit all over it? Peeled.

peeled, always.

i like most everything peeled if i can get my say. if not, i don't mind eating it but things just taste better to me peeled.
apples also come to mind.

Unpeeled. But no ranch, ick.

[gen-here.livejournal.com]

ranch... but no cucumbers. Blech!

[impeccablyme.livejournal.com]

Un-peeled. Isn't a lot of the fiber in the skin? ;)

If you're *my* kid, peeled. If the skin is still on she won't touch them, despite the fact that she loves cucumbers tremendously.

Unpeeled is my vote.

[cynica.livejournal.com]

Peeled!

[eac.livejournal.com]

Unpeeled. Less effort.

Unless a preschool kid is eating. Then the effort is easier than the complaining.

Peeled, always. And with something tastier than ranch.

Michael is the cuke preparer of our household, and always peels. On the rare occassions I pitch hit 4 him, I don't peel but then he chastises me as if the peel is poison. I guess I assumed he is right but I see the responses here vary a little and the fact that u r even asking makes me wonder about all this.

I'm with you.

Also, I love your icon and it makes me smile everytime I see it. Land Before Time WIN!

i would do what they do in restaurants and peel half of it. just four quick swipes with a peeler, leaving a little skin between each swipe, so you have little strips of skin. i don't like a lot of skin when i dip cucumbers but some doesn't bother me (and that way you still get some of the extra nutrients, oh and it is quicker.)

If you do peeled, you have to scoop out the seeds and middle with a teaspoon before peeling and slicing. Otherwise, you need the peel on, to keep them firm.

So it's peeled & scooped versus unpeeled!

Peeled and scooped is 'posh'!

[twirlgrrl.livejournal.com]

Maybe the cucumbers over here are more firm? They do not require scooping to stay firm enough to pick up as spears for dipping. I like the seeds/juicy part, anyway. :)

[twirlgrrl.livejournal.com]

The peels are not poison. Just to clear that up. ;)

[twirlgrrl.livejournal.com]

I subscribe to this notion.
