A good thing that came out of the hike in food prices is that the EU has agreed to ditch the law controlling the curvature of the cucumbers. If you were not aware, until now it was illegal to sell bent cucumbers.
My imagination is working overtime again to try and figure out who put this law in place, and what was going through his or her mind at the time. So the good news is we can now all choose our cucumbers the way we like them.
Lets not let the EU take away our most fundamental liberties, and well done to the Irish voters.

And you bought them
That's a bit archaic but now it is overturned so yay! for bent cucumbers!
