Percebes II - new PIPs
Pollicipes pollicipes, known as the goose neck barnacle, goose barnacle or leaf barnacle is a species of goose barnacle, also well known under the taxonomic synonym Pollicipes cornucopia. It is closely related to Pollicipes polymerus, a species with the same common names, but found on the Pacific coast of North America, and to Pollicipes elegans a species from the coast of Chile. It is found on rocky shores in the north-east Atlantic Ocean and is prized as a delicacy, especially in the Iberian Peninsula. Here at Nazaré, Portugal.

Delicious, very expensive and popular (at least here in Madrid). I don't ever recall seeing them in the UK.
I like them very much but because I had them for the first time in my life when past the age of 50 (me, not the barnacles!), I am not used to eating them and find them very fiddly and time-consuming to extract the meat!
J. Gafarot replied to Andy Rodker:
There is a technique to cut the "head" slightly bending it and at the same time using your thumbnail do separate the brown tube, i.e. the stem, from it.
Then you just "aspire" the muscle which is inside the brown stem.

I didn't see the PiP before - from it you can see how people thought barnacle geese came from them!

(J'aime bien ça, les percebes. J'ai même dû regarder comment on disait en français : des pouce-pieds. Je n'en ai jamais mangé en France...)
