Beware the "Organic cucumbers from Spain"
Organic? Does that mean it was grown in manure?

We had problems here similarly, didn’t we? That’s what happens when you have illegal aliens, or whomever you legally import, treat your field like they would fields, and many other areas, of their home countries.

Organic?
Yeah, Organic contamination.

Didn’t Paris Hilton have a similar problem with
foreign cucumbers, or am I thinking of Madonna?

Of course, the Spanish newspapers deny that Spanish cucumbers are the source of E.coli, unless of course "they got contaminated while transported". It would be funny if people hadn't died!
BTW, this is a picture of a Spanish cucumber field, published today in El Pais. I had never seen having to reach up to pick a cucumber.

cucumbers are coated in wax or cellophane for preservation, this process preserves ALL bacteria, thus washing & rinsing in HOT soapy water with a veggie brush as to get in all the crevices, making sure ALL wax & foreign matter is removed is just plain common sense. ALL bacteria is natural to ANY dirt no matter how it is treated and thus the food needs special care when preparing it for consumption.
Great Big “DUH!”
