Ghanaians scrub periwinkles on grinding stones with water until the black colour vanishes and it turns white, it is mainly used in soups, and no one wants their soup turned black. Yours are very slim, there are slightly bigger ones, they are called "BER-BEO in the GaDangme language.
Just like the Nigerian crayfish which is actually shrimp, the periwinkle is not particularly properly named in Nigeria. It's the west African mud creeper. Periwinkle are more like tiny snails. Not criticising. Just adding a little information.
Wash, cut off the tails, sort out the dead, wash till clear water, boil then store. As a Calabrian I'm telling you the authentic process. This one is the influencer method 😂
Jamaica have so many African ancestry. Both basically eat and do similar things but just slightly different ways. One of my friend who's Jamaican just recently found out she had 30% west African ancestry when she did a DNA test. Some words said in Jamaica also have the same exact meaning as words found in some Nigerian tribes and Ghanaian tribes. It's pretty cool!
@@cfoxy3 Jamaicans are Irish and Scotts hence ut surnames. Small number are Africans. Stop making up history. Do Jamaicans pound yam, eat jolloff? Eat dog as delicacy, pangolin?? Maybe your family but not all. Pls respect the islands true history!
@@Xchromosomerules You are the first person I have ever seen comment on the Jamaica Africa Saga and comment with commonsense. Yes Jamaicans are Scottish, Irish, Taino/Arawakan and Virginian Indian/Amerindian there are very very few Hindus Chinese and Caucasians. The Africans here are very few and there is little to no African culture here. Their are a few Akan words here courtesy of the Koromanti speaking Maroon communities which are closed communities as Koromanti is only spoken by maroons to maroons.
Never heard of this! But I've had escargot, a French version of snails, in butter garlic sauce, with a buttery toast. Taste like sautéed mushrooms. What do these taste like? I'm in America
DOESN'T SEEM LIKE ONE SHOULD CONSUME SOMETHING WITH THE NAME PERIWINKLE. SOUNDS LIKE THE NAME OF A MAGICAL ✨ FAIRY 🪄 OR AN ELF OR SOMETHING🤷🏾♀️ SERIOUSLY CUTE NAME!❤
You'll have it thoroughly cleansed when you cut off the tail before boiling. This your method is best if you want to get them off the shell, and you will not need to allow the water boil for easy pull. Putting them in the fridge with its shell is the fastest way to NOT enjoy it.
Kwesi Ap))fee🤣🤣 They are very tasty in palm nut soup. We tried to play smart as kids by throwing some away whenever we were given the task of breaking the tails.
In my country, we always eat it fresh. We soak it overnight before cooking to make sure all mud or sand has been cleaned. Saute, ginger, garlic and shallots. Put the periwinkle, fishsauce... Sauté for a few minutes, put coconut milk. Boil till coconut milk till thick or the coconut oil comes out
Had them once in edikaikon soup. Pretty sure I didnt spell that right, pardon me I'm Yoruba. Loved the soup, hated the periwinkle. Never had them since. I'll stick to snails.
I had bugs for lunch__Indiana Jones 1983😅I'm good...glad you enjoying yourself....lawd, I would not have made it in my ancestors homeland...I just wouldn't 😂😂😂❤❤❤
I wash and soak over night, this way all the dirts comes off, before boiling. While boiling do not open the pot until its ready, that way it would be easier to pull them from the shell. And I preserve them by pulling them from the shell, using salt on them and putting them in a bottle and inside the freezer... It works for long term preservation.
How do you eat them? I mean how to take them out of their shells? Do you use a fork or knife? Because the shells are hard because I used to have the shells in my shell collection when I was a child. And I know how hard they are ..so I know they won't just break. So how do you get the meat out of the shell? And what do you put then in? Noodles? Rice? Idk. Please share. Thank you.
In Liberian, we called them kiss meat because you have to suck on it to get the meat out 🤣. I was also thinkin, oh she ain’t goin break the tail? Bc Thts the only way to get the meat out. We only cook this in palm nut soup aka palm butter bc the liquid consistency helps with bringing out the meat evn more
How do u eat them? Do you just pop them in your mouth and eat the whole thing or peel something off (besides the tail) ? Would have been nice to see you eat one
You don't wash it tenderly bc it very dirty, you have to shake it very well in water, keep changing the water severally. Cut it while it is alive to detect the spoiled ones before cooking it, except you want to remove it from the shell.
Never heard or seen them before..would love to see how u cook them
My apologies I thought periwinkle was just a color. 😂😂
So did i shit
Me three 😂😅😊
Me too

Yep... learn something new everyday. 🤷🏽
No I have never seen them or heard of them. I would love to see the finished product. 🇯🇲
Please where do you get them? I need to know because I love them a lot. Where can find them at ?😊

Abeg I be naija babe and periwinkles is what we call it here hati
Nope mud creepers are s different kind of sea food. These are African periwinkle and appropriately name

@@debbiieesmiles crayfish and crawfish are interchangeable in the US and probably elsewhere, but in Nigeria, crayfish is dried shrimp.

My dear, this method right here , weak me. Whaaaaaaaat? My mom should not see this at all o. LOL

Lool! At first I thought this was nuts and bolts. I never knew this is how periwinkle looks
I love this ikani
How do u get the meat out? A tiny fork thing? They are smaller than snails.
They are snails but very very small.
In Liberian, we called them kiss meat because you have to suck on it to get the meat out 🤣. I was also thinkin, oh she ain’t goin break the tail? Bc Thts the only way to get the meat out. We only cook this in palm nut soup aka palm butter bc the liquid consistency helps with bringing out the meat evn more
I would go crazy if I ever saw these in the U.S.!
I’m from the U.S. I would leave the dinner table if I saw something like this on the dinner table. It’s a no for me
Well... they are in Florida a 💯 sure. So go crazy 😂
How do you get the meat out of the shell? I am so intrigued
Wow. I only knew periwinkle was a plant and a color.
Periwinkle is also the name of a street
How do u eat them? Do you just pop them in your mouth and eat the whole thing or peel something off (besides the tail) ? Would have been nice to see you eat one
Why do you snap off the tails?
My dad and I used to cut them, wash them thoroughly and cook
May be how to eat them will also help
In our side we don't eat them ,but thank you for the video ,am learning alot from you dear
Oh wow, I was like, "When did Beyonce get a new accent??" Lol
Where I'm from we call it kiss meat bc of the sound it makes when we try to suck out the flesh
OMG
I love those 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
My grandma use to make these when ever we come home on vacation lol ❤❤❤if you don’t know how to eat then you won’t enjoy them
❤❤
I would really love to know how this tastes because here in Kenya i have never heard of such 🤔
Black Perrywinkle Hmm.
In Liberia we call them kiss me
As a Port Harcourt boy. I miss this. I can't find periwinkle in Alberta, Canada 😭😭😭
Please where do i get this in London?
I think you should top and tail before washing. Ok maybe just cut only tails. This can be done where you purchased them.
thank you.
In Liberia 🇱🇷 we call kiss meat oh lord I lovey 😋
Never seen those. Wow they look like screws
We cook it with coconut milk and spices or clear soup with lemongrass. 🇧🇳🤤
😊😊
I remember when I was very little, my grandma used to use them for palm nut soup… 😍
A lot of work has to be done on it before cooking with it
I wish she showed how to eat them. And what to pair them with like a sauce ...
Love following your cooking❤
Thank you❤️
🤔🤔
Where did you buy this from?
I'd like to see it be made.
God loves you
Gosh I am shocked 😲 I have never seen 😳 or heard 😳 of anything like this 😳 before today 😳
I just learnt something 😊
LOVELY To EAT

I just pushed the comments to 1K .......😮🙂👍🎉🎉🎉🎉
They look scary. Can't put that in my mouth. To each his own
I immediately trust everything you say my mama got that pot! I love us!!
You don't wash it tenderly bc it very dirty, you have to shake it very well in water, keep changing the water severally. Cut it while it is alive to detect the spoiled ones before cooking it, except you want to remove it from the shell.
In my village we use it only..for bait to catch the fish..
In Ghana we call it aporfii
Nails
Somebody correct me but as an East African, i have never seen these any where in our markets let alone eat them.....
Are they good
Wtf is going on with my timeline? First caterpillars, now snails. And I watch each time🤦🏾♀️
