I have this vague recollection that one of the reasons Denmark never joined the EMU and kept the kroner as their currency, had something to do with arcane regulations regarding cucumbers.

Possibly, and it's a perfect example how the right-wing exploits the stupidity of people.

- The cucumber regulation has nothing to do with the Euro – it (was) in effect in Denmark anyway.

- It wasn't arcane.
