I want to make my own pickled gherkins. Where do I buy them or cornichons from that aren't pickled, as I haven't seen any in shops/supermarkets. I haven't got the time to grow my own! UK responses only please as that's where I live.

Have had same problem, as I am trying to pickle my own as well, Hopefully I will be collecting about 4lbs of Gherkins from a Fruiterer in Rathbone Street Market on Saturday.
Suggest you try a proper fruiterer in your locality

They are just cucumbers, but if you can't grow you own, it is anybody's guess what kind of cucumbers are available. Check the Asian markets. They are most likely to have smaller cucumbers available.
