useful hints:
Many of us suffer from digestive problems when take pleasure from eating cucumber. The seeds cause this unpleasantness. Scooping them out will make cucumber enjoyable again.
Always use a bigger bowl rather than a smaller for mixing. Easier to work with, the ingredients blend better and your kitchen floor stays cleaner.
Do not be afraid of mixing strange flavours.
If it is at all possible use brown bread without yeast – mars. Lighter.
