Day 4: Cucumber Hate and Hummus

I hate cucumbers. They are disgusting. I like most vegetables, if not, I can tolerate most vegetables. However, I abhor cucumbers and I cannot eat them. I try every now and then to see if my taste has changed, and it never changes. I loath cucumbers. The only way I've ever been able to stomach them is pureed with pineapple. I have a few cucumbers sitting in the 'fridge. Who wants to buy me a blender so they don't go to waste?

I had amazing amounts of hummus today. Whenever I buy a box of premade hummus, I end up eating the whole thing. I didn't eat the enitre box today (Though I ate more than half); what a great accomplishment that was for me!

I also made some tahini-free hummus today without garbanzo beans(!). I loosely followed the recipe from Fat Free Vegan for Split Pea Spread with Hummus Flavors and I was quite pleased. I had to use green split peas, though, because I could not find yellow ones anywhere.

  • hey rosy! you rock for trying hummus sans tahini! I don't think I'm ready to give it up! Cucumbers are definitely an acquired taste; I can only eat a little bit at a time myself; my veggie nemesis (other than arugula) is definitely any bell pepper. keep it up lady!

  • Hi Rosy :)

    I hate cucumbers too but the weird thing is that I love a big, sour pickle.

    I LOVE hummus and I also love blending peas to make a spread. Maybe you could try looking for a blender in Wal*Mart sometime? Ok - I better stop thinking about food now or I'll be in bad trouble!

    Think I'll drink some water to fill my tummy up right now!!! :)

  • yup... i hate cucumbers too. thanks for pointing to that recipe.

    chickpea hummus without tahini is pretty good too. sometimes i add a little flavored vinegar to give it an extra pizzaz(flavor of the month is rasberry balsamic vinegar). the only way i get my E2L cup of beans in is through dips

  • It's not the same texture without the tahini, but I still love it. I love legumes. I can't stand green bell peppers, but I love the other colors. In fact, I'm growing some in my garden.

    I like pickles (on occasion), too, FB. It's hard to believe they come from pickles! Bleh!

    I'll try the vinegar next time, Keda. Thanks for the tip!

  • Hey I hate cucumbers too! And my father did as well. What's more I don't like watermelons very much since they remind me of cucumbers a bit.

    The weird thing is I enjoy pickles just finee, but they do taste completely different.
