      @@goodfes Back in the '60s / '70s for me. There was a local pub, which some mates and I used to frequent and it had a permanent seafood stall outside, with all the different types of shellfish offered on little ceramic plates. With lashings of good strong vinegar and a ton of pepper, you could work your way through the whole variety, no problem, well I could at least! Occasionally, I'd call in on a Sunday lunchtime and buy half a pint of winkles for tea later on. A winkle sandwich or two was manna from heaven but then I'm a Battersea lad at heart!
