Re: English or regular cucumbers

Either are fine! I tend to buy the English more as that's what the recipe calls for in my cucumber & onion salad and I like them a little more if I'm making veggies and dip.

English

Crispier, less seeds if any, less burping! They are the only ones we grow (or buy in the winter)

Make better pickles

My grocery only carries Regular Cucumbers or Greenhouse Grown ones, but they have a sticker on them saying grown in the USA. So, I've never seen English ones or Persian ones. You have to grow your own pickling ones I guess.

English only refers to the long, less seed style.

English Cucumbers | Lipman Family Farms

They are not 'from' England.

Wegman's carries them all year long and locally grown in the summer.

Same with the Persian

@RespectLife Don't think I've seen those at my Publix. It's either the regular cucumbers or the greenhouse ones which come shrinkwrapped in plastic. They're long and skinny. I tried them once and didn't like them.
