Before I forget it I am going to tell you of a dish that to my sorrow is
rather uncommon, even among those who think they dine well. It's nothing
less than a stuffed, baked cucumber--that is, those are the essentials
of the dish. The potentials are to be classified by you after you have
partaken of it. Cut the cucumbers in two lengthwise without peeling
them, scoop out all the seeds, and fill to heaping each half with a
highly seasoned mixture of bread crumbs; moisten with melted butter and
brown in a hot oven. Vary this stuffing at your own sweet will--add a
few chopped olives or some chopped pimientos--Spanish sweet peppers you
know--but have bread crumbs enough to insure the dish getting browned in
shape.
