Winkles

This is the ultimate austerity snack - pick the winkles at the coast off the rocks at low tide.

Wash the winkles thoroughly in a colander under running water.

Put the winkles in a pan of very well salted water.  Put on a lid and let them boil for 35 - 40 minutes.

Put the winkles in cold water and drain before serving them cold.

Remove the eye, and pull out the flesh with a pin.
