Escargot

Anybody like escargot. Here is a months worth.

[Savage1!]

Don't they leave a big snot trail?

[oldrocks2]

Yup.

Big snail

Wow!

I love escargot, but I think I’d be inclined to name that big guy rather than eat him!

(you know, he’s kinda cute, like a rabbit tucked in a shell without any ears, eyes!)

That looks more like someone’s pet rather than dinner.

[Havenhunter]

Geez, I didn’t know they got that big! One regular size snail is enough for me!

Great picture. Hard to believe that thing is related to an octopus. Depending on who you listen to, they are close relatives. Odd, considering the octopus is so intelligent and has eight arms. Natural is kind of crazy sometimes.

That’s cool 😎

We have a bit of a problem with these (if it is a GAS)... "Giant African snails are currently only found in the greater Miami metropolitan area, and one residential area in Broward County. In 1966, three giant African snails were introduced to Florida (illegally) as pets in a home in Miami. The snails were released into the garden without knowledge of their damage potential. The Giant African Snail can be considered the only agricultural herbivorous pest which is a threat to public health since it is a vector of the rat lungworm, Angiostrongylus cantonensis, which causes eosinophilic meningoencephalitis in humans."

I wonder how it would taste compared with the much smaller European species that normally are eaten.

[oldrocks2]

I know it's not a Helix pomatia but a snail is a snail. Don't think this one is going to be eaten.

I still think looks like bunny stuffed into shell!
