Hi All, The talk of snails is making my mouth water! We have collected the winkles (marine snails?) and cockles for years, and they are put into a bucket with flour and water, so they can get rid of the sand. Which is why I never eat the commercially prepared varieties - the sand is never removed - presumably it takes too long if you are a commercial company, selling them - so all you can taste is the grit against your teeth. Horrible! But cockles are lovely with bread and butter, after a day in the flour and water, and cooked by being boiled in a pan of boiling, lightly salted water.
Carol - in Suffolk UK - close to Norfolk UK where the best cockles are found! ----- Original Message ----- From: "romdom" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Chat" <lace-chat@arachne.com> Sent: Sunday, August 07, 2005 9:02 AM Subject: Re: [lace-chat] Creepy crawlies To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
