No more C***MBER SANDWICHES please!


Very offensive to the Turkish apparently, due to their phallic nature (the cucumbers that is, not the Turkish).  They should instead be described as "salad things"

Hmm.  Not very helpful as they could be mistaken for tomatoes or lettuce.

Well I presume the Turks feel no need to be as euphamistic in regard to tomatoes or lettuce.

Hmm.  Not very imaginative then, are they?  I can think of many many euphamisms for tomatoes and as for lettuce...

Sod the Turks, I like CUCUMBER SANDWICHES.


Ain't nothing wrong with CUCUMBERS. CUCUMBERS are goooood.


Do they have similar problems with BANANAS? Or MARROWS? Or LEEKS? Or CARROTS? Or COURGETTES? Or ASPARAGUS?


(Personally I find courgettes pretty offensive.)
