Okay, a 'continental cucumber' is a 'cucumber'.

A 'green cucumber' looks like a 'ridge cucumber' (which taste better than the ordinary ones, but are never in the shops, maybe because they don't look as smooth)

Are you sure you haven't gotten these mixed up? A green cucumber is smooth, and a continental cucumber is ridged and tastes better than the green one (the green one has a bitter skin).

'truss tomatoes' made me laugh. We call them tomatoes on the vine.

I don't understand why some people call them 'truss tomatoes', because we also call them tomatoes on the vine too. Maybe they prefer 'truss' because it's shorter?
