Question- are these kirby cucmbers?...

the small ones...not the long english hothouse
i think they must be...right?


They're not the English hothouse ones. They're medium sized cucumbers without the pricklies and no hard seeds. They're used everywhere I go in Korea, and I don't know their type name in English.


I've bookmarked this one to try. I love any type of cucumber salad. My youngest grandson loves cucumbers and anything hot & spicy so I'll be seeing if he likes these also. Thanks for a great post.

Those are kirby cucumbers.


This looks wonderful, spicy and delicious. I love a new way to fix cucumbers.
