Is Cucumber and Peanut Butter a Good Combo in a Sandwich ?

Sounds like some of Mrs Cropley's creative cooking from the Vicar of Dibley.

Sounds pretty awful to me. I like cucumber sandwiches on their own with just a reasonable amount of butter and perhaps a little pepper and a pinch of salt. However bread, butter and peanut butter are all high calorie foods. It's like wrapping lettuce leaves around a bar of lard, it just seems like a poor combination if you are trying to watch calories. Calories are a confusing definition too. You could have the same number of calories in a portion of complex carbs compared to simple carbs (i.e. processed food) and the first you lose weight with and the other you gain weight despite the calories being measured the same. The body struggles to get much energy from complex carbs and often they feed your bacteria more than you where as simple carbs are very easy for the body to use as fuel, often containing processed sugars, fats and proteins the body can very easily fuel itself from those as there is little fibre to process and you have types of food all combined in an un-natural way.

sounds absolutely grim. No thanks you can keep that combination thank you very much.

Sounds awful to me. Try a low calorie cheese spread instead of peanut butter. If you’re counting the calories then isn’t peanut butter high?

Omg had no idea about this!! Cucumbers and peanut butter?! It doesn’t sounds delicious at all lol what an odd combination!!

I couldn’t think of anything more disgusting . I hate cucumber and I hate peanut butter. So my answer is a big fat no! Peanut butter has calories though. I’ll stick with roast chicken and sweetcorn.

It is not the sort of thing I would choose to eat, but if I were on some sort of game show and had to eat it I would do it.

I would eat it as I I am a vegetarian.I would restrict the bread to two small

brown slices and use no extra sugar added peanut butter. This would be an occasional treat.

Thanks for all the opinions , it seems to be a no goer for most , except S who is vegetarian

I don't like cucumber or peanut butter lol sounds horrible to be honest , definitely something I would avoid

I don't mind it on salads M , but never fancied a soggy cucumber sandwich

Doesn't sound like the most appetising sandwich to me. But everyone to their own.

Oh yuk T that does sound like my worse nightmare, hate peanut butter and only like a bit of cucumber with some tuna.

Love both BUT not together!!

However I do LOVE cold Chilli Con Carne & a wedge of peppery Pork Pie...

I like cucumber, I already think it tastes great. I would add it to a ham sandwich or tuna but I certainly wouldn't put peanut butter with it. I like peanut butter but don't eat it often. I will stick to my cucumber just on its own.

Interesting that they say cucumber is unpalatable as I’d happily eat a cucumber sandwich, but cucumber and peanut butter doesn’t sound great

Sound absolutely awful, but dislike peanut butter so nothing with peanut butter would sound appetising. Each to their own

My taste buds cringed at that combo I'll just take the Cucumber maybe add salad cream

I'll just have the cucumber thanks.

Peanut butter in bread is a major ick for me

I love this - I quite often have the marmite peanut butter with cucumber, or just add my own Wiltshire farm Firemite to the peanut butter and cucumber. Another good combo is Peanut butter and sliced banana.

I personally hate peanut butter. It's the smell that gets me . Personally I do t like the idea of them together . I'd much rather humous instead. But we are all different and all have different tastes. X

Both of the items in this sandwich I hate lol so for me it's a no

Not a fan of either ingredient, although someone suggested coleslaw and peanut butter and it does taste like satay
