The experiment with gherkins is to try and match the small fat cucumbers
we
found in Cyprus which were just right to eat whole with a packed lunch.

These are still smaller than the Cypriot cucumber/gherkins which I
estimate
as 7" to 8" long.

Are these called 'pepinos' - something like that? If so, I think they
might
be a special variety. I'll check with a Cypriot friend.


Don't know - the labels were all Greek to me ;-)

Should have brought one back for the seeds.
