To eat or not to eat cucumber?
Gurken zu essen?
is it correct?

Das kommt mir logisch richtig vor.
Man warnt vor etwas Gefährlichem. Das Gefährliche ist hier, "Gurken zu essen" und nicht "keine Gurken zu essen".

Sonst könnte man zum Beispiel sagen:
Den Deutschen wurde dringend geraten/empfohlen, keine Gurken zu essen.
Die Deutschen wurden ermahnt, keine Gurken zu essen.

Usage of warn[en] in German and English seems to be different in that.
Maybe the English equivalent is "to warn against something", I'm not sure.
