Lunch Box 574: Pseudo-escargot When I go to an Asian market I try to find at least one thing each trip that I've never tried before. This time around I came home with a bag of frozen periwinkles. Winkles, a kind of snail, are commonly eaten in Britain and Ireland, but I've never seen them here. So, I guessed that they'd go well with garlic butter, and simmered them at a low temperature in just that. The result: escargot-like garlic butter periwinkles. Then there's edamame, zucchini & onion stir-fry, mushroom turnovers, and cherries. Can you tell I bought a BIG bag of cherries?
