I'm confused. Gherkins are just small cucumbers, right? Typically used for pickling, yes, but still just small cucumbers.

From the Dutch "augurk" (which is a (small) pickled cucumber)

It's pretty commonly used to refer to pickled gherkins here, I can't remember the last time I saw them just sold as cucumbers.
