Do you know your Cucumbers?

Why do shoppers prefer to buy their cucumbers, well aged, wrapped in tight plastic, imported from abroad when freshly picked, Kilkenny grown cucumbers are available? If a cucumber is bought on the day it is picked and eaten soon afterwards, the flavour is incomparable.

Four different types of freshly picked cucumber available from Glasrai, Gowran, Co. Kilkenny

Each variety of cucumber has a slightly different flavour, so it is worth trying them all. The small smooth green Lebanese ones are our favourite. The prickly ones at the bottom are gerkins, which are delicious when pickled.
