The price of cucumbers

Ah I was rendered temporarily speechless by the mental images my photo evoked!

It was a delicious but alas sadly a short-lived experience, as is oft the case where the performance doesn’t live up to the packaging.

Has this place really reduced to incorporate endless double entendres and smut?

If it has, then by golly, I’m glad to be back😊

They seem to go so soft so quick thesedays, you have to use them whilst they still nice and firm.

Well you can’t tell since they’ve stopped putting on Sell by Dates.

It’s like an episode of Are You Being Served on here!

Sometimes the shorter chubby ones stay firmer for longer!

Aye…I totally agree.

Yes I’ve had them and it’s true but the skins always seem tougher. Not so tasty either.

long stiff ones and short stubbie ones, where are we going

Downhill, rapidly! :grimacing:

Just like the price of cucumbers allegedly.

Is now the time to mention my liking of spicy pickled gherkins?

Might confuse the issue.

We have a new batch of home grown ones . . . and gherkins.

Do hand nurtured ones taste nicer ? … the big outlets are so impersonal and often with poor quality control.

In my limited experience of growing 2- 3 cucumbers, home grown ones taste amazing vs the commercially grown variety. I’m not sure what they do to our veggies, but there must be a team that works hard to remove all residual flavour from any produce.

Yes home grown taste quite different. Of course they are not wrapped in cling film and they are organic.
My first year of growing them and they have been amazing and abundant.
