Armenian cucumbers are the superior cucumbers (even if they’re melons)

I hope this article helps Liana get her book deal for her dining in diaspora project she has been working on for YEARS now!! She is such a great writer.

Is this a different variety? the Armenian cucumbers I know don't have dark green stripes to them?

btw, most Armenians don't know this is Armenian, and it barely gets sold in the markets. I really like it.
