[Marky Dread]

Colourful hats, strawberries and cream, ice cream and jelly, cups of tea, cucumber sandwiches and wave at the nonce as he drives by.

Cucumber sandwiches? Tell me this isn't just sliced cucumbers on some sort of bread

Yep 2 slices of bread and butter with sliced cucumber. Tastes like shit. Please take pity on me and send some meatballs.

I find cucumbers dreadful on their own, bread and butter cant save them.

Unless it's pickled, cucumbers suck.

Gherkins and were in business.

My sentiments exactly!

[Heston]

I love cucumber.

[Dr. Medulla]

Cucumber is fine as a supplementary addition to a sandwich. A reliable cast member, but never the star.

[revbob]

I love cucumber and KISS.

[Silent Majority]

As a kid, I was mad about cucumbers. Used to gnaw my way through them like others would eat apples. Then I was round my Dad's flat in Streatham making my way through my third cucumber of the day and, watching the film Flubber, rented on VHS from Blockbuster, I puked green vomit in a spray all over the living room. I've only been able to eat them, in tiny doses, again for the last two years or so.

I believe the upper class fetish for cucumbers started with the Raj where they were favoured for being a colder, more refreshing vegetable in a repressively hot climate (hence "cool as a cucumber") and from there it was brought back to the old country and became a symbol as much as anything else.

Between that and tea*, the English (that is, the elite) have a thing for deeply claiming as their own stuff not native to the island.

*And, like, lots and lots of land and wealth.

I think the idea of sticking cucumber slices between slices of white starch is most definitely a British invention, though. I can just imagine the conversations in the officers' and gentlemen's kitchens as the native servants prepared these very unusual delicacies.

Something along the lines of "How the hell are these pasty morons in charge?"

I have little doubt that the great Sepoy Mutiny of the mid 19th century was at least partly inspired by the rise of the cumcumber sandwich.

I'd love to learn that the English were referred to as Cukes.
