With the caveat that if it’s small and you pickle it, I’m down.

Good answer.

I gather the hatred some people like me carry for pukecumber has a genetic root.

if it’s small and you pickle it, I’m down.

Sorry but you are a big fan of cucumber.

I'm with you. I've tried it a bunch of times since so many people seem to like cucumbers, cucumber water, cucumber in sushi, cucumber gin, and whatever else. I don't like pickles either. I just cannot cuke.
