I've come across one or two bitter ones, though none that are bitter when peeled. I just picked up something that said "cucumber" in the greenhouse. I wanted a "European" or "English" cucumber but couldn't find one. So much for being completely non-helpful. Yours look exactly like our non-Japanese cucumbers.

Very prickly and tough skins. I'm wondering what a good type is as well. I'm thinking of trying English cucumbers next year (the ones that are really long and straight in the store). They are a little sweeter and have fewer seeds than the others, I think, although I'm not sure where to get a hold of some for planting.
