I love all kinds of pickles, big ones, little ones and yes I even like little gherkins.
Claussen Kosher Dills are good and they are refrigerated and not on the shelf.

I didn't realize the relatively cheap pickles that you buy in a can or a jar aren't really fermented but just boiled and soaked with brine and vinegar ("synthetic" vinegar according to label if I recall correctly). 

Also in the UK I bumped into something they call sandwich pickles that is pretty disgusting. It's little chopped up pieces of vegetables inside some sort of brown sweet and salty gooish brown gel.

That would be called relish in the USA.

I like relish on a hot dog mixed with ketchup & tabasco sauce.
