I've only ever grown them outdoors but find the Mini Patio cucumber a great tasting variety - very crisp and crunchy and with a slight apple-like flavour. It's also a very prolific cropper under the right conditions.

taste being such a subjective thing, can I suggest you try a different type each year till you find one you really like the taste of?
