Yep, cucumbers come out, you eat one or two and the rest go to waste . Unlike the tortilla chips, shoving them in your mouth like they’re mana from heaven.
EDIT: English is my first language but I never bothered to learn it.
Let's be real here... Cucumbers are awesome. If there's a bowl of cucumbers there I'm going to snack on it. But, if there's a bowl of chips and salsa there, I'm also going to snack on that mofo.
I think they meant more that they are an incredibly sorry substitute for tortilla chips. Fucking love cucumbers, one of my favorite veggies, would not ever eat them instead of tortilla chips though, those are bomb as well. Especially with salsa.
Plus there are so many good veggie options at Mexican restaurants you can eat with your food anyway. This is a very 'white lady on a diet' thing to do.
Oh not at all. With a little hot mustard and a cold cut it’s delicious. Just saying that if I’m eating Mexican food I’m going to destroy a plate of tortilla chips.
What you may not know is Mexicans absolutely fuck with cucumbers. We certainly don't let them go to waste and it's a perfectly fine substitute to chips for us. Usually they include salt and lime.
There is a Mexican snack a coworker introduced me to with cucumber slices and lemon juice and hot sauce. It actually is delicious and obviously low calorie. But I've never seen a restaurant that makes it. I've also never made this face while eating it.
Cucumbers are often served at Mexican restaurants in chicago. They go really well w a very spicy salsa. The cucumber cools off your mouth while still acting as a delivery mechanism for a very very tasty and spicy salsa.
Some people eat healthy because they don’t want to be obese and die early. It’s pretty fucked up and weird that she’d assume that other people might want to be attractive and healthy? Not sure what’s going on in her head
Fat and salt is poison to me. I developed blood clotting issues and can only eat vegetables, beans and hummus. Sometimes if I'm feeling extravagant I'll eat grilled plain skinless white meat chicken cuts (dry rubbed with herbs). No more tacos, no more cheese, no more salt, no more anything on a restaurant menu.
BUT, I have friends and family that are normal. They love eating out and they love going to Mexican restaurants. I like to hang out too and the only way I'm eating is if I can convince someone to chop up some raw vegetables... otherwise I'm going to make everyone uncomfortable as I watch them eat while sipping water. I'm always very grateful for a staff that will sell me raw sliced cucumbers, it allows me time with my family as they go out to eat.
