They are not the same thing.
Gherkins are much bigger than cornichons, shirley?

Cornichons are gerkhins that have been pickled with vinegar and tarragon.

Cornichons are tiddlers, french style. Gherkins in the french are Grand Russe (ie eastern european style), or wallys in cockney (which I guess is where they first showed up here)

Same name in Canada. People are obsessed with them. They're even one of the most popular chip (crisp) flavours.Dill pickles
I like them sliced up in a burger or sandwich but they're quite unpleasant to eat on their own.

When I was in the states last year we had them battered and deep fried - a revelation!
(I realise that sounds disgusting)
It is disgusting! You're given what looks like a battered sausage only to be massively let down when you bite into it.

if they are ‘Artisan’ then it will make all the difference, price wise allow 500% mark up.
