look at that S car go

This picture is from one of our pig roasts. We have hundreds of snails in our backyard.



So my question is; does anybody know if they are edible?

(I know they eat really well. Mostly because they eat all my plants.)

Looks pretty much like Helix aspersa. Uncle Wikipedia says you can grind them up into a skin cream to cure your wrinkles, scars, dry skin, and acne!

I'm pretty sure there were no such snails around when I was a kid. Then, all of a sudden, one year, stripey snails everywhere.

I did stumble across a site that was selling skin cream made out of snail slime.

Don't think I'm quite that much of a hippie!
