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.)

This reminds me of alt.gothic Days Of Yore when I confessed a fear of butter and whole milk. Someone not-so-gently reminded me that butter and whole milk are two *essential* ingredients in cake.

mmm cake.

So I say that shrimp and crabs (and crawfish! oo cher!) are essential ingredients of The Delicious.

mmm icky nasty dirtbugs. mmm tasty.

Never had the snail, though, but I am deeply fascinated by this thread, Siobhan.

I'm not afraid by bugs, just squicked by them.

I wouldn't eat spiders or roaches, so I understand :) I just love crustaceans.
