Just think about it for a minute.
Hard for some of you to admit it.
BUT HE IS RIGHT.

Ah. Actually, I quite like ripe cucumbers, though I don't grow
them and so only occasionally eat them.

But that's not what he said. He said that because it was bitter it was
unripe and followed it up by saying that he then felt guilty about
cutting into something that wasn't ready and that it was now wasted (or
words to that effect).

A better term than "unripe" would have been "not ready".
