Mini Cukes?

I went to Costco yesterday and was perusing their fresh veggie section... I came across "gourmet" mini cucumbers. I've never seen these before! Now of course they have to make pickles from something, and I imagine these are them, but I've never seen them this small as just cucumbers.
I ate them with some hummus for a snack between breakfast and lunch, and YUM! They were much easier to cut up and eat... I always feel like regular cucumbers make me chew FOREVER, and before I'm done my jaw is tired, but these were the perfect size! They also weren't too expensive, considering how many you get. Plus a trip to Costco is always good... I got a huge bag of frozen broccoli, too :)
Are these mini cucumbers that unusual? Any recipe ideas with cucumbers (besides yummy tzatziki)?


I love love love the mini cukes! The main reason I love them is pure laziness. They are the perfect size for a snack, and I don't cut them up, I dunk them directly in my hummus. I get some weird looks from the people in my office who have happened upon me eating them, but hey, fewer dishes...
