One very very cold christmas day a snail banged his shell against a back door until it opened by this man.
He said " why are you banging your shell against my back door annoying everyone inside on today of all days".
" Please sir " said the snail " It is so cold out here and I am freezing.Can I come inside for a sort time to get warm again?"
“No” said trhe man and kicked the snail so hard the snail ended up at the other end of the very long garden.

The following Christmas day the snail again banged his shell agaist the same back door. When the same man opened it the snail said to him " why did you you that ?"

A snail was mugged by two slugs. The police asked if he saw who did. The slug said No it happened so fast.

Why do the French eat snails?

Because they don’t like fast food. . . :grin:

I removed the shell from my racing snail.

I thought it would make it faster, but if anything it’s more sluggish :wink::+1:

I ordered ten escargot (snails) but when the waiter arrived I complained there was one missing. He looked around and said not to worry,… it can’t have gone far… :nerd_face:. boom boom…

think about Rat Lungworm and you would not eat anything in the wild…at least the ‘‘so called eating’’…yuk. :face_vomiting:.snails are reared as opposed to wild garden ones

I really don’t fancy the idea of eating snails…even the idea of having a slug (is it a slug?) at the bottom of a tequila bottle makes me feel :face_vomiting:

Eeey, I haven’t tried, but I’m glad you like them.

Stupid question alert: Are the shells removed before cooking, or do you use a pointy stick like getting out winkles?

The ones I’ve had are in tiny yellow shells, they live in fields with wild herbs, when it rains they climb up plants/grass/herbals, easy to collect. They get fried in olive oil & garlic, they’re hooked out of their shells with a pin straight into mouth, :grin: washed down with beer.

I can believe it! They would all be plucked off any leaves, walls, stones before they got a chance to draw their little eyes in! :astonished:
