What is a "winkle"?
A winkle is a small marine snail with a conical shell. It is commonly found along rocky shores and in tidal pools. The shell of the winkle is typically smooth and often has attractive patterns or colors. These creatures are herbivores, feeding on algae and other small organisms that grow on rocks. Winkles are often harvested for culinary purposes, particularly in some European countries where they are considered a delicacy. They are usually cooked by boiling or steaming and can be served as a snack, appetizer, or added to various dishes. Winkles are appreciated for their unique flavor and texture, making them a popular choice for seafood enthusiasts.
