Fun fact: cucumbers and watermelons are actually part of the same family: the cucurbitaceae.
Makes sense. The watermelon is like a playdoh ball then you just flatten it to a snake to get the cucumber
In Spain, it is common to say that you got a “cucumber-y” watermelon when it is not sweet.
Can’t you make pickles from watermelon rind?
I love cucumber, and I enjoy chewing on watermelon rind
It should be mentioned that Americans and Europeans seldom talk about the exact same thing when talking about cucumbers. The most common cucumber type in the US is a spiky bitter thing with a thick rind, while the most common in Europe is softer with a smooth rind, more watery and often much sweeter in taste (the type which Americans for some reason call the English cucumber).
Then the OP makes sense. Because the white part of a watermelon tastes nothing like cucumber.
