WHAT DOES CORNICHON MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Gherkin

Gherkin is a term generally used to refer to a savoury pickled cucumber, particularly in the United Kingdom and Australia. Gherkins and commercial cucumbers belong to the same species, but are from different cultivar groups. They are usually picked when 4 to 8 cm in length and pickled in jars or cans with vinegar or brine. The term can also be used to refer to the West Indian Burr Gherkin, a related species, originally from West Africa and introduced to the West Indies, probably by the Portuguese. The Burr Gherkin, or badunga, cannot interbreed with the aforementioned Gherkin. It is edible and may be pickled, but must be picked when no longer than 4 centimetres long, since it becomes bitter and spiny if allowed to grow larger. Gherkins are traditionally served cold, as cooked gherkins lose their intense flavour rapidly. Pickled gherkins are served to accompany other foods, often in sandwiches. They are historically associated with Central European and, occasionally, Eastern European cuisine, but are now found more widely.
