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.)

Damn straight. Snails are delicious.

I don't forsee any problems with them being full of chemicals. They're eating the plants in my back yard, which are pretty healthy.

Snails are bugs.
You are totally sick.
Totally.

Damn Frenchies!

Prawns are essentially bugs too, and are damned tasty.

Besides, one can eat anything if it's cooked in enough garlic butter.

So are shrimp for that matter. Have you seen what those things look like?

Also delicious.

I have wee freshwater shrimp in my aquarium. They squick the fuck out of me every time I have to take them out of the tank for a move. Don't mind them when they're in the water, but as soon as they're out, my 'holyshit! it has more than 4 legs, ewwwwwww' response kicks in.

I don't eat shrimp or prawns. Or crabs. :)

I forget you are such a delicate little flower. :-)

No worries, man. More for me!

Somehow, I don't think that's escargot.

omg, I want them to be my snaily friends.

Providing they don't give me the meningitis, of course.

Come to the Pacific! They're a pest here!
Apparently.
Never seen one myself.

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.
