Please tell me that was mushy peas

Quite likely to have been a large pickled 'gherkin' (like a baby cucumber!)

We went to our local pub this evening for the monthly laughter loft, 4 very funny comedians. There was a youngish couple on the front row-first timers, don't think she cracked her face once throughout the evening, never seen such a sour face on someone so young, not sure why they bothered going but I doubt they will bother again.

I have only seen little gherkins in jars. Never saw a big, crowd pleasing one.

Although, I suspect that this is another national colloquialism.

In England, a gherkin is any pickled cucumber. Here, they are only the wee ones.

I can't say I have ever seen a dill gherkin.

Are we doing Monty Python again?

Nice to see we both read the question the same way.

A dill gherkin is a pickled baby cucumber with dill flavouring (dill being a herb).

A small gherkin is often called cocktail gherkins

Here most if not all gremlins are sweet. (Excuse the predictive text but too hilarious not to share.)
