SC - <sigh> Cucumbers

[Richard Kappler II]

Yes, I am on a quest, and YES, there's a woman involved...........

do I have your full attention now? :-)

The question is, when were cucumbers first used in Medieval Europe.  I have
Tannahill, who says they were imported into Rome back in the days even
before Adamantius from Spain, as well as that they were used to prevent
scurvy before the Chinese told the Portuguese about citrus, but when were
they first used in Europe after the fall of the Roman empire or, as I
suspect, were they always just there?  Recipes and documentation
puhleeeeeeease.....

regards, Puck
