Seriously, try it. Dutch the lettuce.
That looks so good.

This seems really delicious. I think if a made it, I would use a mandoline and slice the cucumber paper thin, then shingle it on. I think you'd get the flavor and moisture of it without too much of a tough bite, considering all of the other ingredients are pretty soft (or in the case of the bacon, kinda crumbly)
I've done exactly that. It's not worth it. Cucumbers are slippery. The fewer slices you have the better it stays together. If you want to maximize structural integrity then cut sheets of cucumber and weave them together.
I counter your cucumber shingles with soaking them in a little bit of balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar for 20 mins
Tough bite? Cucumber?
You speak the truth. I didn't want to say it in my reply
Oh yes. This looks very good.
Dutch?
Dutch lettuce should be slang for marijuana.
And now it is.
Typo of ditch? Either because the U and I are next to each other, or auto correct.
Can't imagine it being hip slang
Darn it, I don't use cukes nearly enough. They're so nice for bringing a 'coolness' and 'wateriness' that can nicely balance spicy food or dry-ish meats, such as that bacon, there. I think they work great in gyro wraps too, for the same reason.
Not that a gyro needs any cooling beyond tzatziki sauce. But you can't always order double meat, no lettuce because of poverty or health reasons.

Well, I tend to hit almost every non-sweet food item with hot peppers and garlic, so the cukes definitely help me there. For me, food is a delivery system for garlic and spice. :D
I have definitely ordered a double meat gyro from Arby's and put pepper sauce on it.

BCT, no L.
I stand corrected. I hope you enjoyed your BCT.

Cognitive Bacon Therapy
Cock Bacon Torture
Coronary Blockage Transplant
you mean Coronary Bacon Transplant right?
I’d fuck with that combo
