SC - <sigh> Cucumbers

[ChannonM at aol.com]

According to Waverly Root's "Food" and I quote
The cucumber was slow to penetrate into norther Europe, where after al the 
claimate was not kindly disposed toward it. i t seems to have appeared in 
France and England about the same time, in the fourteenth century, but it may 
not have ben known in Germany until the sixteenth if a doucument of that 
period which chronicles its appearanc in Wurttemberg was really reporting a 
novelty.

That's all I have at hand on them.
