Round here we call cornichons “sweet gherkins” and they’re pretty good

Also: At one point you put black olives on your fingertips for the last time and you didn’t know it.

Cornichons aren't sweet, though. (Different kind of brine.)

I guess it’s pretty American to add a bunch of sugar to something lol

Yeah, I love sweet gherkins, and when there is an unlabeled dish of cornichons I get very upset at the surprise sour/bitter/black pepper flavors. Give me that DelMonte high fructose corn syrup sweet pickle!
