To the best of my knowledge a cornichon is just a small cuke that has
been pickled. You can get the same stuff in Del Dixie's small pickles,
at least they taste the same to me. There are several varieties of cukes
that are meant to be picked at about 2 to 3 inches in length to make
small pickles. Any good seed catalog will carry seed for them.
