Ooh, that reminds me of a debate between my husband and his roommate about whether "pickle" meant a pickled cucumber, or a pickled anything. My husband would insist that he could call "a pickle" anything that was pickled, while his roommate insisted that "a pickle" only meant the cucumber one.
They would go on and on about it every time the subject came back. The could never convince each other.
I say, just eat them!
Incidentally, I pretty much only eat
cornichons. Wikipedia tells me you call them gherkins.
And really, you rarely cut these at all.
