Metropolitan Market, put up your dukes

Dear Met Market,

Although unassuming in shape, cost-effective and green, the cucumber should be considered, at best, as one option among many for your recipes. Salads, sandwiches, wraps..heck, even sushi. It can provide the crunch and refreshing blast that, I don’t know..someone must really enjoy – perhaps often.

That being said, I would like to personally tell the guy in charge of the sushi over there at Met Market to stop putting cucumber in all the sushi rolls hand-prepared there each day. Groundbreaking idea: substitute avocado, or just leave it out! If you must keep putting cucumber in there, then don’t be so grumpy when we ask you to make custom rolls.

It looks neat having the production in plain sight, but we might expect something from you on occasion, being that you are so accessible.

Thank you.
