Cornichon preparation

Heya

I picked up a little cucumber plant that was labelled as being Cornichon, its growing well and small fruits are forming, The info I can find on preparing these tells you what to do with lots, but no real mention about whether they are OK to munch 'un-pickled' if you only have a couple!

Any ideas?

Thanks

Great- if you are still on line tomorrow, I know its safe to just munch away- may do what my Grandad used to do, sliced cucumber, tomato and onion, drenched in white vinegar and served with salad etc.... yum, feeling hungry again now!

Which would have sent Grandad into a flat spin!- I nearly pointed out that what he ate was like the salad you get in an Indian once.... I was warned by Gran not too!- he would eat cold rice in a salad, or mild curry if served with potatoes, but never rice and curry as that was not a good mixture in his book!

It wasn't that he was racist, he just wouldn't eat 'foreign food', so bolanaise sauce was OK if with spuds!
