He bought a jar at Tescos, and the impression I had, was that they
weren't
fresh, they were preserved. Let me re- read.....

Yep. And I quoth --

"He bought a jar of them from Tesco. "Having removed the vinegar, I
placed
several of the cockles with some of the purple pigment in a vat
consisting
of a 2 lb jam jar."
