What should I do with them?

Make little samiches, invite your friends over and have a tea party?

Dice then up, and add yogurt and cumin. There is a name for this, but I can't think of it right now.

danf: raita, see above! Good with curry.

Make a Greek salad (cucumber, red onion, feta, tomatoes, olives, basil and oregano, s and p) or a Lebanese (fatoush) salad (cucumber, tomato, onion, mint, parsley, lemon juice, s and p). Or have a high tea with cucumber sandwiches, scones and jam and cream, and a sponge cake.

Grate them and put them on your face to hydrate your skin. Feels awesome.

If i use cucumbers, i always put the peels or slices on my face.
Refreshing.

i only usually use them for soba or something like that.
