The gherkin pickle is a cucumber that has been pickled in a brine. It is often left to ferment with sugar, herbs such as parsley of tarragon, and some fruit juices, but the un â¦ derlying vegetable must always be a cucumber for it to be considered a gherkin.ontrary to popular believe, gherkins are not cucumbers. Gherkins and cucumbers are related but not the same plant race. This is a slight difference botanically, but quite a difference in taste and appearance.
