Could I eat snails out of the garden?

[moose]

Women also think its attractive to see a man eat snails.

Maybe that sentence should be prefixed with 'Some' or even 'Hardly any'.

But, afaik, you don't have a garden?

And yeah, I'm sure I read somewhere you have to feed them lettuce for a couple of weeks to purify them.

Reckon they'd still be rank though.

I don't have a garden of my own. I do have a communal garden. I'm thinkiing the other people in my flats won't mind me taking care of the snails.

I'm not listening to you about nice foods, you don't like bivavles.

We have banana slugs: would you like some of them?

Almost a meal in itself.

Think of the mess one of those would make when I stamp on it after finding it eating my runner beans..........................

On second thoughts, given the size of the fecker it would probably need a sledgehammer to squish it.

There will be no keeping or cooking of snails in my flat as long as there is breath in my body.

if you really want snails, I'm sure I could help you. I'm not that far from you. There are quite a few about, considering my partner was outside for about 5 mins last night and one of the fuckers climbed up the back of his trousers. The look on his face when he put hishand on it was priceless.

Chips for me too please.

You don't step on them. It leaves too much mess on your shoes. Plus, you could slip and fall down.

What do snails taste like?

Its a great appetizer, absolutely delicious. Anything that has butter, olive oil, garlic and parsley in it is going to taste delicious. Tennis shoes would taste good with those ingredients.

So basically what he is saying is they taste like old trainers, only if you add enough other stuff you can hide their shitty taste.

Snail = Slugs in a shell.

The 24th May is/was National Escargot Day
Apparently "there are 116 varieties of edible snail, but they should be starved for two weeks, to clear the digestive system, before being eaten" according to Richard Johnson of the Guardian.
I was going to comment that starving them seems a bit mean but considering their ultimate fate maybe that's the least of their worries.

erh!

I think what you do is first catch your snails. Feed them only on milk for about a week then only water then cook and eat.[/WHY/why not]

With so many tasty animals (and vegetables) out there, why would you go to the trouble of trawling round your garden lood for tiny gastopods to eat? Are you half-human, half-blackbird or something?
