Why cucumber?
Tasteless, watery.
In tzatiki, maybe
Just eradicate this failure from the planet.

cucumbers are better on sandwiches than tomatoes

fight me fight me now faggot

We can work with tomatoes.
In my mind I fought you, pretty much crippled you.

Cold sandwiches, yes. I prefer tomato on hot ones, like burgers, though.

Don't get me wrong: I'm not a fan, either, but there are a lot of variations. The one with which I'm most familiar is thick and spreadable and not really runny.
Here's how I know it to be made:

Halve a cucumber lengthways.
Using the back of a spoon, scoop out the water seeds, leaving just the solid, fleshy walls.
Cut each half itself in half lengthways yielding quarters.
Slice or roughly chop the quarters and salt generously, then set aside for a while for the salt to leech out as much moisture as possible; meanwhile, grate or pound some garlic into a paste.
Mix strained yogurt (strained more than even "Greek" yogurt is normally) with the pasted garlic, a bit of EVO, some chopped dill and/or parsley (dill is preferred where tzatziki is natively made but in some parts of the former Ottoman Empire, parsley is used instead; in southern Hungary/northern Serbia, tarragon is used sometimes) and a dash of vinegar (red preferred, but any is fine).
Squeeze the cucumber bits of excess liquid then rinse in cold running water to remove excess salt and squeeze dry all over again.
Fold in the cuke bits, adjust salt to taste and serve.

Others variations don't scoop the cukes or salt them and squeeze them or they don't use strained yogurt. That makes a more liquid-y sauce rather than a more spreadable condiment.

shit, forgot about hot sandwiches

i make this sandwich with a layer of hummus and then some thinly sliced cucumber. another one i make is a wrap with cut up meatballs and tazikiti and red onion and more cucumber.

>Tasteless
Get your tongue checked?

Cucumbers have a nice lightly sweet flavor.

I love it, particularly in salads with tomato.

My pallets works fine
Ehm. Sweet flavor? Better check yours!

Idiot.
