I like my cucumbers like I like my men. Bendy. So when a 'proper' (i.e. homegrown) cucumber crosses my threshold I like to do it justice, also, if it's proper, that probably means there are gazillions of the things about the place. Their season has just about ended now, so save some for posterity.
 Prefer your cucumber to taste a bit like gherkin? No, me neither, however, this does, but man is it good. Perfect with anything on the rich oily side that you need to cut through, particularly excellent with the confit salmon dish, but also great with plain ole' smoked salmon. A fabulous christmas pickle, cos' it's great with goose, turkey and all that feastival type food. It's just as fabulous on it's own, perched on a butty, yay, butties.
