It's actually quite a common "freak of nature".

I've had double courgettes and tomatoes this year. I can remember when you could buy double bananas in the shops. That of course was before the EU was invented.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

It's a little-known fact that EU stands for 'Edible Uniformity'

That's quite the cuke, Phil. I've never seen that. I used to get lots of double toms but not the last few years. Must be all the chicken muck I've been adding.  :D
