Subject: RE: BS: I hate Whelks From: Big Al Whittle Date: 01 Sep 06 - 12:06 AM Wow a rapper whelk...? would that be like rapper morris or, eminem? little whelks with strips of metal dancing round in a ring, then threading the strips of metal into a ring. Or a whelk withattitude and a microphone telling it like it is. Either way I bet they get booked at Whitby next year. What sort of rap would a whelk write? |

Subject: RE: BS: I hate Whelks From: GUEST,Mingulay Date: 15 Oct 04 - 10:10 AM Giok, have just spoken to the whelk who's picture started all this and he says that he doesn't like you much either. Not only did you not get his "good" side, you also called him "common". Apparently even whelks have a sensitive side and Tarquin McShell is no different, despite his rugged exterior he is very much in touch with his feminine side. Indeed his scones are the talk of the local W.I. He, therefore, requests that you withdraw your shellist remarks. |

Subject: RE: BS: I hate Whelks From: GUEST,anonanonanon Date: 15 Oct 04 - 07:38 AM Yeah, you gotta watch out for crabs in Filey! And "one sunny day" is about right for Filey too! One a year! Not much to do there on wet days, which probably accounts for the crab epidemic!!! Think I'd rather have whelks than crabs....... Pass the kerosene.... Ouch! |
Subject: RE: BS: I hate Whelks From: John MacKenzie Date: 15 Oct 04 - 04:49 AM Thank you Wilfried, for you birthday wishes. Apart from Pene Azul, who forgets nobody's birthday, I thought it had gone unnoticed. Nobody even thought to send me suitably garnished whelk to mark the occasion. I did have a nice day/weekend, with meals out two days running,[What diet?] as somebody said, I'm turning 40, and taking my time about it. Giok [Who is not a librarian] |
Subject: RE: BS: I hate Whelks From: Wilfried Schaum Date: 15 Oct 04 - 02:12 AM Oh, oh, Giok - pardon me, fellow librarian, and gentle starter of this thread. I just missed your birthday some days ago, humbly begging for your pardon. I hope you had a happy birthday submitting my belated felicitations. Unfortunantely I live on the other side of the Channel; otherwise I should have overwhelked you with welms, or so ... Cheers Wilfried |
Subject: RE: BS: I hate Whelks From: Big Al Whittle Date: 14 Oct 04 - 09:09 PM well i always had the feeling that if you cracked a barnacle you would discover something fibrous and snail like within. mind you I never did - so who knows - obviously (I hear you answer)a man acquainted with goose barnacles....! what a great thing the internet is. all these years I might have laboured under the under a complete misaprehension about the nature of whelks and barnacles. I never got food poisoning off a whelk, but I did off some crab in Filey. I think it had been languishing in the sun under polythene in a hut selling crabs and the like one sunny day. |

Subject: RE: BS: I hate Whelks From: GUEST,Mingulay Date: 14 Oct 04 - 06:27 AM Yes you can do whelks in pressure cookers. First slice your whelks very thinly and place in the cooker with just enough water to cover. Add root vegetables of your choice, one crushed garlic clove, two bay leaves, a chicken stock cube and seasoning. Place the lid firmly on the vessel and cook for 3 hours. Decant the contents into a large dish or bowl. Throw away the contents of the dish and EAT THE PRESSURE COOKER! |
Subject: RE: BS: I hate Whelks From: John MacKenzie Date: 14 Oct 04 - 04:21 AM Whelks look like barnacles?? Not even a Goose Barnacle looks like a whelk. See here Giok |
Subject: RE: BS: I hate Whelks From: Big Al Whittle Date: 13 Oct 04 - 06:16 PM Can you tenderise a whelk in pressure cooker. Then what would it be like? Is a whelk like a barnacle - they look very similar. Can you eat barnacles? odd what goes through your mind....late at night isn't it? |

Subject: RE: BS: I hate Whelks From: Wilfried Schaum Date: 08 Oct 04 - 06:38 AM I had to eat them. At the Hull Maritime Museum I learned that fishermen had mallets on board to smash the crusts for using them as baits. A whole thread long I was annoyed by random remarks about whelks and their price (£ 57.00) instead of giving vital information. Now I finally I know what they are and how they look. Thanks a lot, Giok! |
