      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.

        I’d probably pickle them all. But then again, I love pickles.

        If you don’t love pickles, probably not a good idea.

        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
