Canned Animal Review, installment five: Iberia Cockles in Brine Eaten directly from the can, these tiny bivalves looked and tasted exactly like the kind of salty, sand-filled boogers one gets from a long day at the beach. While I have come to expect the fine line of Iberia canned animals to appear quite differently in reality than their package’s depiction, this particular representation is equivalent to posting a craigslist ad with a picture of a Porsche in order to sell what is actually a large pile of rusty doorknobs. Undeterred, I attempted to sauté the can’s contents in butter and garlic. The result tasted like tiny sautéed oysters, if oysters were made mostly of sand.
