Since everyone on here is a sandal muching lentil wearer I thought perhaps someone might recognise this.
What is it and what should I do with it?

is it not a home grown cucumber? ie not an 'english cucumber' which is what we grew up calling those smooth long flat things that are now commonplace?
otherwise a deformed/miscoloured prickly pear!

Oh yes it could be a cucumber. I have only ever seen the smooth ones so it looks weird.

cut through it! should be yummy. the skin might be a bit tough. if you can find small ones like this, please tell me. i use them for pickles.
ps min - now I am going to stop being embarrassed about not knowing what to do with the broadbeans that came in our veg box. i'd never seen anything like them! now the kids love them and can't get enough.

Yes I will cut through it with my cucumber smoothie recipie on standby. I just didn't want to do it and then not know what to do with it and it go to waste. Thank you!

Brilliant! I'll be there tomorrow. Thanks for the tip. (that's the argyle place shop?)

It's definitely a rather generously sized 'cumber. Probably be a mite tastier than the supermarket ones too.

@SRD no the one round the corner on Roseneath Street. Larger of the two there, the one with the chipboard ramp up to the front.

Definitely a cucumber - we had a very similar one in our veg box this week.

Can I name him "Brian"? Or have you already chopped him into little pieces?
Posted 12 years ago # -
Not in pieces yet. Brian will make his way into my foodstuffs from tonight. ;-)
