Wrong type of snail.

The one you want for eating is Helix pomatia. Anything else is a waste of garlic butter.

These are not even in the same Family. They are about as closely related as marmosets and blue whales.

Are you sure about that? Plenty of material pointing to giant land snails being destined for dining tables.

I wouldn’t put any snail near my mouth. BLECH!

Are they rubbery?
