Hi Clive
It was a chef competition for children. Inauguration was done by cutting a cucumber.
Now tell me if I can use that sentence with 'symbolic'.

Did the cucumber symbolize all the other food? That seems to me like an awkward idea.

Hi Clive

They wanted it to be out of the ordinary. Since cucumber is edible and as there were many items to be prepared with it, they did it.
