A sour gherkin is a pickle, last I knew. A teeeny pickle. Personally, I
thought the word in question was a mis-spelled 'canisiones', which I've
made and like. They make up well ahead and travel well (uncut- cut them
on site) but I tried doing them in the over in camp and it didn't work
so well. They really want to be handled carefully with a regular oven, I
guess.
