Trader Joe’s cornichons
In a pickle

Disclaimer: I’ve always been one of those people who can eat pickles for breakfast. Of course, I haven’t actually done so since my college days, but I still qualify as a hardcore dill devotee. So it was with glee that I discovered a Francophile twist on the traditional pickle: the cornichon (which is, in fact, French for pickle). Tangy enough to make you sweat, tasty enough to be eaten alone or as a garnish, and tiny enough that you can pop a dozen or so in one sitting, the Trader Joe’s cornichon — cultivated in the Garonne Valley in southwestern France — is a treat. It’s also low-calorie (five per pickle, to be exact) and inexpensive. Put on a pot of coffee and you’ve got breakfast.

Available at Trader Joe’s stores for $2.49 for a 12.35-ounce jar.
