Being in the midst of a farming/fishing community 

neighbours tend to overload us with the latest crop or catch. 

There are still chunks of octopus in the freezer

from some benefactor last year.

 This is last weekend's collection. 

I wish they grew something useful like apples or rhubarb.   

What does one do with so many cucumbers?

An easy answer is the classic, English cucumber sandwich . 

(Perhaps a dab of mayonnaise ?)
