Obviously the Jay Slater case is no laughing matter, but I had to smile at one online post which suggested the GoFundMe money should be used to employ some "trained Gherkins" to search the mountains (assuming they meant Gurkhas) smile

Not a lot of use, they’re almost always pickled.

I grew some last year and trained them up sticks like cucumbers.

Sorry I realise that's off topic. I'll clear off.wine

If the gherkins aren’t properly trained it could all turn out to be a bit of a caper!

Well thank you all - I have enjoyed this thread hugely, and will look at gherkins in a very different way from now.

So disappointed - I was looking forward to having a pet gherkin or two....

Oh I do hope not! Gherkins in potato salad or in some kinds of curry, but I am certain they taste awful in soup!
