A South African term for the giant periwinkle (Turbo sarmaticus), a large edible sea snail found along the South African coastline. The alikreukel is a delicacy and a culturally significant seafood along the Western and Eastern Cape, often prepared simply by boiling or braaiing. It's legally protected in some areas due to overharvesting. The word is firmly South African English via Afrikaans and is unlikely to be understood outside that context.
(South Africa) euphorbia, spurge.
