Cucumber varieties and best uses

The conversions above are the same whatever variety you use; the difference is what each is good for. Here is how the common cucumber varieties compare.

Variety	Best for
Slicing (American Slicer)	All-purpose salads and snacking: dark-green waxed skin (usually peeled), watery flesh; the cheap supermarket default.
English (Hothouse)	Salads and sandwiches: long, seedless, thin-skinned; no peeling needed and the mildest flavour.
Persian / Lebanese	Snacking and salads: small, crisp, seedless; eat skin and all.
Kirby (Pickling)	Pickles and quick brines: short and bumpy, firm flesh that stays crunchy in vinegar.
Armenian (Yard-long)	Salads and tzatziki: long and ribbed, technically a melon; thin skin, mild and crisp.

Which should I pick?

For salads and sandwiches, English / Hothouse is the pick: long, seedless, thin-skinned, no peeling needed. No English? Persian / Lebanese cucumbers are smaller but equally crisp and mild.
