Pickle

[Victor Steinbok]

I just checked again to confirm my earlier comments about the Boston
area. At a local farm stand, the sign read "pickle cukes". At an
eclectic suburban supermarket "pickling cukes" were right next to
"Persian cukes". The big waxy one were just labeled "cukes" in both places.
