A lot of us come to Mylot, and end up asking for advice. I wonder how many of us actually take that advice? The first time I can remember taking someone’s advice was from @GardenGerty, and she actually had given the advice to...

Fleur It's a small shellfish like a snail. You can eat them but you have to use a pin to get the cooked winkle out of its shell, which is why you talk about 'winkling' something out (or maybe that's just a British thing?).
