Do you mind if I ask which one? There’s not one close to me!

The one in Manchester. Aldi in Vernon and East Hartford tend to have Persian cucumbers too.

Awesome! I wasn't sure but I did a quick Google search and it looked promising. I would imagine they carry them at most locations.

Big Y. Aldi. They're called different things sometimes (like mini cucumbers) but they are Persian cucumbers.

If anyone will know, it'll be him. Plus the ice cream is delicious

India farmers market in Milford

There right now, didn't see it. Might be because I'm (figuratively) blind tho

Is this like a store or an actual outside, temporary Indian styled farmers market? I’m not from Milford but I’d like to go!
We have Patel Brothers here in Norwalk-love it.

It’s a store, very similar to Patel brothers or other Asian grocery stores. No idea why they call it a farmers market lol. It is indoors and year round.

Literally any grocery market. I buy them weekly at stop and shop

Not sure if Persian Cucumbers are related to the Middle East but I recall my Turkish neighbors driving to Orange to the Farmers Market to get cucumbers (among some of the veggies that they purchase) not sure though it what you are looking for. Also not sure if it’s worth the drive for you

Intriguing.
Why?

I made it once in high school and my sister was obsessed with it and wants it again 😂

What a sweet reason.
InvaderDepresso t1_j2d7c5h wrote
Trader Joe’s! Or maybe whole foods.
I had sweet corn ice cream recently and I’m dying for more. Please consider sharing your cucumber ice cream recipe!

Just posted it on the CT Reddit page! ☺️ tried sending you a pic of the recipe but wouldn’t go through
InvaderDepresso t1_j2dugla wrote
Thank you! I hope you find what you need!

I'd call around to grocery stores near you, especially if there are any Asian groceries. But if you can't find them, there's a good chance that you can substitute regular cucumbers. Good luck with your recipe.

Aren’t they the same as English cucumbers, the ones that come wrapped in plastic? If so, Big Y has them.
uthyrbendragon t1_j2abfqn wrote
No, similar but Persians are much smaller and better flavor.
