They could all end up in the soup!

Oh I do hope not! Gherkins in potato salad or in some kinds of curry, but I am certain they taste awful in soup!

So disappointed - I was looking forward to having a pet gherkin or two....

Well thank you all - I have enjoyed this thread hugely, and will look at gherkins in a very different way from now.

The best, prolonged laugh I've had in a long time. grin grin

They could join Stop it and Tidy up at the Great Gherkin Festival afterwards.😃

Not a lot of use, they’re almost always pickled.

If the gherkins aren’t properly trained it could all turn out to be a bit of a caper!

I was expecting gardening tips🫤

I was wondering how one would go about training a gherkin wink

I grew some last year and trained them up sticks like cucumbers.

Sorry I realise that's off topic. I'll clear off.wine

Obviously the Jay Slater case is no laughing matter, but I had to smile at one online post which suggested the GoFundMe money should be used to employ some "trained Gherkins" to search the mountains (assuming they meant Gurkhas) smile
