…yeah, Custer’s having some problems out there.
Also, this stunning news:
Cucumbers can be seen as a quick and easy addition to summery salads or a tasty snack, but an expert has issued a warning over the vegetable.
Nutritionist Rhiannon Lambert, who specialises in weight management, issued a warning to anyone who regularly eats them. According to Rhiannon, the cucumber might not be as nutritional as fans first thought.
In her column for the Daily Telegraph, Rhiannon explained: “Cucumber is a refreshing vegetable with a very high (96%) water content, making it hydrating but relatively low in nutrients.”
You don’t say! Hands up all those who didn’t know that cucumbers are just a water delivery device… oh you all know that? What’s that, in the back? “Crunchy water”, you say. Indeed it is.
But wait! There’s more!
For an extra box of .22 LR, can anyone tell me another vegetable that’s mostly water but beloved by salad gobblers, vegans and dieters? [some overlap]
Rhiannon also touched on iceberg lettuce, noting its similar shortfall in nutritional value. Like cucumbers, it’s better for hydration than nutrition.
Ah, you peeked. No ammo for you.
In our next edition of Little Big Horn News, our intrepid reporters have discovered that slamming your finger with a hammer can hurt like hell, hot stove tops hide a nasty little secret, and Lizzo has a weight problem.
Well blow me down with a feather! Whodathunkit?
And all this time…..
Anyway, I likes some decent salad now and then.
But I have to have some backbone in every meal.
Make it rib bone, and I’m with you.
Watermelon has joined the discussion.
Besides the hydration factor, watermelon has seeds which you can spit on stupid people.
Just one minor quibble.
Cucumbers are a fruit, not a vegetable, because they contain seeds.
Tomatoes are a fruit, too, just like all squash and pumpkins.
Green beans have seeds, are they fruits too?
Botanically, they’re a fruit but are treated as a vegetable… kind of like Joe Biden.
Many Democrats are fruits. I leave the specifics of that statement as an exercise for the student after class.
The only proper use for cucumbers is for them to be pickled and sliced for the holy hamburger or to be ground for relish to be placed on hotdogs.
