Found these two bottles which I all to quickly filled with other rubbish :thumbdown:

Also saw these, which apparently sell for €200 a kilo ! But as I didn't know what they were at the time, I didn't touch them !

They look like goose barnacles. I've seen them occasionally up here, usually long past their eating stage.

In a similar way to other shellfish. If alive, possibly OK, if dead, do you know the history of their harvesting and storage.

My work van has been covered in the stuff for the last week.
Seems to be a lot from the Rowen trees cos I flicked the flowerhead with my finger yesterday and it released a little cloud of pollen.
