Americans have different cucumbers than us normal folks snoopcester Send a noteboard - 24/09/2010 02:29:44 PM
Not that I mean to imply you are normal, what with you being from New Zealand and living in Scotland without it being the result of a terrible accident.

But different anyway.

Which is all besides the point, the point is cucumber's have a subtle flavour, perfect for superior drinks.
