This year ameliore de bourbonne, quite a long thin one, but previously I've grown petit vert de Paris, a classic stubby one.
We're currently eating the 2020 vintage so it may take a while to find out if I prefer the new variety But maybe we'll crack open the first jar for aperos this evening.
The very first time I had gherkins was in a simple restaurant in Paris when I was little - the starter was a big dish of pate and a huge earthenware jar of cornichons both of which you helped yourself from. I should imagine environmental health would have a fit these days, but I fell in love with cornichons that day
