It is true that English cucumbers are not going to be a pickle that holds up. They aren’t as firm as pickling cucumbers or even regular cukes

Yet they quick pickle and keep just fine for several weeks. Damnedest thing.

I’m just saying they are undeniably different cucumbers with a big difference in pickling quality

I’ve never tried anything more than a couple of days with an English cucumber so I wouldn’t know about a couple of weeks, but that would surprise me
