I had never heard the word before. Here's a quick picture and explanation: <a href="http://www.thekitchn.com/whats-the-deal-with-cornichons-117240" rel="nofollow">http://www.thekitchn.com/whats-the-deal-with-cornichons-117240</a> Now what's crazy is that Charlie uses the word all the time, as he loves "little pickles" and so Mrs. Bee taught him the word too. How old were you when you learned the word, "cornichon"? EDIT TO ADD: Here is the joke!! It was actually by Frasier, not Niles (at 3 minutes, 57 seconds!) <a href="http://youtu.be/VYpa18Ajjns?t=3m57s" rel="nofollow">http://youtu.be/VYpa18Ajjns?t=3m57s</a>
