yes those taste really nice
Are baby ones also known as gherkin cucumbers? I like them pickled but aways feel a wally when eating one. 
Ice and a slice!
A decent gin with a slice of cucumber… sublime.
You mean lemon, surely
sounds very posh
It really does work 
As d00d suggested lemon (or lime) is my first choice but ice and a slice of cucumber makes for a refreshing change.

Just checked an order from 2022 and they were 70p at Waitrose:
Now they are 90p, down from 95p (pretty sure they were £1.09 before that)
today I saw £1.10 at Waitrose. Perhaps online shopping is less

That’s the large one Annie, think the standard one has always been an bit cheaper/smaller…
I bought a large cucumber from Waitrose on Wednesday and that cost 90p - that was from the shop not online.

It’s very small these days Azz. I really don’t understand why cucumbers have been hit with this high cost, perhaps the cost of water is up?

Some prices are going up overnight. I’ve noticed some shops are trying to offer larger cucumbers alongside the regular size and charge more so we become conditioned to paying more than 89p

Since reading this thread I’ve been on cucumber alert! This morning they were 98p in the local farm shop with 1/2 cucumbers at 50p …

The profits of supermarkets like Tesco (and iirc Waitrose) have tripled since the pandemic Annie - there’s no reason other than greed:
George Stephenson, locomotive mastermind and cucumber visionary, knew there would be a demand for straight cucumbers and invented these:
We always had bent ones back in the day.
