Schatzli you can buy by piece or by kilo. There is a reasonable amount of dill in Manila now. Other herbs getting more common too. Cucumber on eye trick works because it is 90% water and if from the fridge, cool. A small face towel that is damp and placed in the fridge for a few hours is equally soothing on the eyes, eyebags… Virgilio, good idea for the dip. I also chop cucumbers, add yoghurt or sour cream and chopped dill and serve this with Indian curries.

Same here, schatzli (or Schatz :)), have yet to see dill back home. Anyway, Marketman, with yoghurt and lots of crushed garlic, try making tzatziki dip with your cucumber and add finely chopped dill.

Interesting! I just make mine with vinegar, salt and pepper. Gotta try it with that dill!

Something to try..will call it visayan cucumber salad ala marketman. My aunts sliced their cucumber thinly I would say as thin as paper. My other aunt would scopped the inside and serve it like little Cs.But I agree with you it was
simplier just like your mother’s.

I prefer the thinner sturdy cucumber I dont like the fat watery ones… Never mixed mine though.

are these cucumbers sold by piece or kilo?
weird I cannot remember ever in my life having seen dill in Phils.
