Cucumber gains status as wholesome food despite long prejudice
The article traces historical fear of cucumbers from John Evelyn’s time to modern views, noting how prejudice framed cucumber as dangerous. It cites cultural references from Gay’s Beggar’s Opera and a Dickensian tone of caution, contrasting old caution with current acceptance of cucumber as a digestible, healthy staple when properly grown and prepared.
