I was intrigued about the cockle popcorn and found this â It looks so simple to make.

I was very taken with an appetiser they served us in a restaurant in Spain. It was simply carrots in some kind of dressing, but it was so delicious none of us could leave it alone. I think it had coriander in it, but though I have tried many times to replicate it, it’s not the same. merlot what is cockle popcorn? It sounds intriguing!

Yesterday we had a big family gathering and decided to go to a local hotel for a cream tea in the late afternoon. As time went on no-one really wanted to leave and so more drinks were ordered and a passing waiter was spotted carrying a tray of interesting looking snack foods to a nearby table. We asked for some of the same and got small bowls of olives with almonds - and oh my goodness, little saucepans of COCKLE POPCORN. It was so delicious I'm practically drooling at the memory and can't wait to try making this little delicacy for myself.
