I’ve been growing cucumbers in a little plastic greenhouse thing in the back garden. Normally my attempts at this end badly, with the cucumbers turning into the most bitter things on the planet.

This time I succeeded, so I’ve been pickling them. Not all of them were pleasant to eat, it’s a bit like Russian Roulette. I chop the end off a cucumber, take a bite and chew it for a few seconds. It soon becomes obvious if the thing is edible or not.
