pickle spear

Quartered cucumber companion

A pickle spear is a cucumber pickle cut lengthwise into a wedge shape, typically quartered.

Spears are the standard cut served alongside sandwiches at delis and diners: The burger came with a pickle spear and chips.

The elongated shape makes them easy to eat out of hand.
