gherkin
Small pickled cucumber
A gherkin is a small cucumber pickled in vinegar or brine, typically eaten whole as a condiment or snack.
The word usually implies a smaller, crunchier pickle than what Americans simply call a pickle: a jar of gherkins, gherkins on a charcuterie board.
In software testing, Gherkin is also a plain-language syntax for writing automated test scenarios.
