Cucumbers Recipe

To be healthy they should not be picked longer than a day before they

are to be eaten. They should be kept in cold water, and fifteen or

twenty minutes before they are to be eaten, pare and slice them into

fresh cold water, to take out the slimy matter. Just before they are put

on the table, drain off the water. Put them in a deep dish; sprinkle on

a good deal of salt and pepper--cover them with vinegar. Cucumbers are

thought by many people to be very unhealthy, but if properly prepared,

they will not be found to be any more unwholesome than most other summer

vegetables.
