Cucumbers are grown yr-rd in hot houses here & veggie finger-food like this is popular as well. I used lightly toasted whole wheat bread & otherwise made as written for an appy nite we try to have twice a wk on the dys DH eats a main meal at noon while at work. These were delicious & provided some crunch along side homemade soup & deviled eggs. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us. :-)
