I totally agree with the previous reviewers: The taste was really good, but the poppy seeds didn't really add much.

The authors mention that these cucumbers are somewhat pickle-like in flavour and I would agree…..they’re sweet, salty, crunchy, juicy and very refreshing. A little heat is provided by fresh red chiles and a bright flavour by coriander; I agree with friederike that apart from the visual appeal, the poppy seeds don’t contribute much.
Very easy to make and very tasty.
friederike from Berlin,
Really really nice and very quick to prepare. I think it was the addition of the coriander that made it special. The poppy seed was nice to look at, but it didn't really make any difference in taste, I felt.
