I would like to pose a question.
My question is about cucumbers.
Do you cut ends and rub out the bitterness, or cut and eat?
All my life I have cut and rubbed out the bitterness.
My husband among others thinks I'm silly for doing such a thing.
What do you think?
I will do the expirment later this week and taste the difference.
Just wanted a little data before I do my expirment.

That is so funny!! My mom has always told me to do that, and so I do, religiously. I have never done it any other way.
Seeing as I have no idea what you're talking about, I guess I don't do it. Never heard of anyone doing it. And I love cucumbers - so it can't be terribly bad not to do it, right? Now you've got me curious... Hmmm...
Did some research for you... The general consensus is that it is an old wives tale. Check it out here: http://www.lpl.arizona.edu/~bcohen/cucumbers/faq.html#rub
i always do this with home grown cucs. store bought i don't. i don't water mine enough and they tend to get bitter and is has always worked for me. it doesn't always take all of the bitter away but it does make a difference.
