Idyllic 1970's Sunday mornings spent with a bucket willick picking.

 

[Ambivalent Dave]

used to love them as a bairn. Picked a load at Staithes with the bairn last month. Boiled them, stunk the house out. Ate two. f***ing rotten.

Some things are best left in the past

Not enough salt?

We had our own willick pins made. A bloke me dad knew worked at Royal Ordinance and made all sorts. I carried a pin for years in my wallet with my club cards.

There's millions of the snot-like molluscs down Hawthorne beach. Can they just be stuck in a pan and boiled and eaten?

Dog whelks eat the willicks but I think they are edible. Limpits definitely are but they're a bit chewy

Put them in a pan of cold water and pour a genrous amount of salt into the water and boil them. Also stir them regularly.

The salt makes them open up and removes any impuruties.
