Cockles (Κυδωνια)

Cockles are a type of clam that’s found in the Mediterranean and “it warms my cockles” when my good friend George brings me some from when he goes diving. Had I received more I would have made a simple pasta with white wine, garlic, lemon zest and juice and fresh parsley. I only received a handful so I simply shucked them and squeezed lemon juice on them and slurped them down…naughty noises and all. All the meat inside is edible and there’s no sand sac to be found. Delicious!

I’ve seen the shells before, but never filled with actual sea foodie creatures!
Never had cockles…. Would love to try.

I’m thinking that maybe next Summer we should use some chains and lock you in a basement so you wont torture us this way…
This could possibly be your most perverted post. But I will forgive you. Again, kudos on the fingernails.
I would love to try cockles, it sounds delish.
