Throw away attitude

wrote and included this (or some of this): I now cut cucumbers when they are fully ripe and cling-film them immediately. Kept at frig temperature they stay crisp and fresh for days. Just bring them out for a couple of hours to warm to RT before use. But the ones I buy at the greengrocer are just fine, unwrapped and unashamed! And if I leave them in the fridge in their plastic coats, they seem to turn to mush faster. Well, I expect that both of our separate experiences are valid. I know my home-grown ones last days longer if wrapped. I grow probably 250 cucumbers a year and have tried unwrapped and wrapped often enough to know what works for me. Mind you, we've bought a couple of cucumbers lately, don't know where they were grown (or when) and they were inedible. Cucumbers are for eating from Wimbledon to Autumn Bank Holiday not flown in from Brazil or Zimbabwe. -- ®óñ© © ²°¹°-°³ -- ®óñ© © ²°¹°-°³ |
