They say that straight eight and market more 76 and other slicing cucumbers are good for both.
I am calling hog wash.
I have been making pickles all my life and pickling cucumbers are what you want.
I cannot express to you the difference it makes.
In my opinion pickling cucumbers came first then slicing then the so called burp less like you see in the store.
I use pickling for all my cucumber needs.
The dark green burp less cucumbers you see in the store to me are an abomination to cucumbers.
If I was to sit down to a meal at someones house I would gratefully eat them with no complaints.
You wont find them in my home.
