Who's bringing the garlic butter?  Looks like we'll need about a quart per.

Yes, you can eat giant African land snails. But cook them well. I mean really well. Just boil them for a month. Grill them with napalm if you have it. Because like many snails and semi-slugs, this species carries the deadly rat lungworm.

As its name suggests, the parasite attacks rats, which pass the larvae in their feces. Snails that eat this waste are infected, as are folks who eat the snails. In humans, the larvae attack the brain, leading to meningitis and often a pretty horrible death.

stay safe.

And I was just lamenting the fact that I have not had Escargot since I left Germany. \


And now, it looks like I still won't.

Ick.

You get that from fish.

Hard to find good escargot anywho. I'll be sticking to my blanquette de veau, better for cold weather anyway

Tasty!

I've only had escargot one time, it was so garlicky you could have used fish livers and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

"You get that from fish."

I see what you did there.

Tasty!

Exact same experience with both Escargot and Rocky Mountain Oysters.

They shoulda used ketchup instead.

Another critter to add to my future acquisitions list.

The snails, rats or brain eating lung worms?

Perhaps the bull*snip*steer for the rocky mountain oysters?

[MechAg94]

By deploying common over-the-counter snail poison and advertising a hotline residents can call to report sightings, authorities have so far been able to contain the critter to Miami. And no, pouring salt on them is in no way an acceptable option for homeowners. It’s a horrible death. Osmosis pulls the water out of the snail, killing it of dehydration. Just don’t do it. Ever.

Screw you, I'll stick with salt.  I want to hear snails scream!

Knowing her, the answer is "Yes" to all.

What I'd like to see is how things go when she sics them on the spiders.

stay safe.
