You reach down to the bottom of the salad drawer to pick up a cucumber and your fingers go straight into the mouldy get.

Any pickles in there?

I'm allergic to cucumber. FACT

I'm also allergic to cucumber, as well as melon, apples and bananas.

Cornichon, kings of the fridge but probably not suitable for the allergic contingent.

I'm okay with melon (ish) and apples, but Bananas are a problem, as well as a few other fruits and salads.

I'm ok with them pickled.

That's a relief.

I want to know where all the oily stuff on one of the shelves in my fridge comes from. All it has on are jars of pickles, yet oil accumulates about a week after it is washed off.

Are you feeling any ill effects? Like the doctors telling you you only have six weeks to live?

I'm ok, as I haven't ingested any of the oil.

This reminds me of a time...... better not

I'd have no time at all for anyone with bio-yoghurts,cous cous or Fosters in their fridge..

i,m the same with bananas. had plenty of days off school after taking one upstairs at night eating it when my old man went to work and knew i,d spew up a few mins. later and hearing those lovely words, you,d better not go today. magic.

Melon, apples, bananas, oranges, strawberries and nuts with skin on all make my throat close up.

Parents used to say I was making it up (as I fine with fruit juices, banana smoothies and roasted/salted nuts etc) to get out of eating fruit etc but was only about 2 years ago I found our it was a real condition (Oral Allergy Syndrome)

Thankfully processing the fruit into juice gets rids of whatever causes it same as roasting the nuts etc.

Bananas are radioactive BTW.

So are Bananarama. Tragic story.

Bananarama doing okay for royalties as been played 13 times today just on Radio Active!
