augurken cornichons

augurken cornichons are small, bumpy, tart, and crunchy pickled cucumbers (gherkins) known for their tangy, vinegary flavor and crisp texture, often flavored with dill and other spices. Originating from the Dutch word for cucumber, “augurken,” they are called cornichons in French and gherkins in English, and are traditionally served with charcuterie, patés, or as a crunchy addition to salads and other dishes.
