Depends exactly what variety it is I guess, but this site: http://www.evergreenseeds.com/chcuhycrwi.html makes them sound just like the Japanese cucumbers which are very good. There are things like the Horny Cucumber which are a bit more of an acquired taste. Just grow them on, see what the fruit is like, and taste it. If it looks like the cucumber on the website above, and tastes ok, then use it.
