There’s this running misconception that the cucumber is the antithesis of glamorous within the world of vegetables. Sure, it’s no zucchini — which was once hailed as alluring in Meghan Markle’s recipe for a “filthy, sexy” zucchini pasta sauce. Nor is it a juicy hunk of a beefsteak tomato or a pleasantly plump eggplant. The cucumber may not be conventionally posh or sexy (if you can even describe a vegetable as so), but it manages to outshine its counterparts — in more covert than overt ways.
Recently, cucumbers have taken the Internet by storm thanks to a viral TikTok trend. Popular home chef Logan “Cucumber Boy” Moffitt shared his favorite way to enjoy an entire cucumber. The recipe itself is quite simple: Moffitt first uses a mandoline to slice a whole cucumber in a container, then mixes it with various sauces, seasonings, MSG and toppings before shaking the concoction in a plastic container until it's all blended. The saucy cucumbers are enjoyed straight out of the container with chopsticks.
