Yuck.

Bad idea. Some snails carry parasites that can kill you.

I suppose if they’re well cooked they’re ok, but there ARE parasites that dogs get from snails (lungworm) and I wouldn’t risk it myself.

Yum, Escargot, give me some garlic butter and melt some bleu cheese on top - a bit of crusty bread and a glass of wine.....ahhhh heaven!!

Why is this a negative, she is just discovering a delicacy. How is this different than growing your own herbs? Snails are good eats.

One hypenated word: “Bug-Getta”.

As soon as it stops raining this afternoon, I plan on sprinkling a bunch around the yard and garden. I absolutely detest snails and slugs.

When I was a kid, we used to pee on snails and slugs.

No...I didn’t become a serial killer!

This became a small fad in California in the late 70s, I believe the advice was to place them in a pan of corn meal for several days to cleanse their system.

My grandfather used to bring them home from the city and they turned out to be our pets.

No snails here, but plenty of scorpions. I guess frying up a big plate of scorpions would be a good way to be frugal, and similar cost cutting measure.

Not so much. I'd rather eat Alpo, before I resorted to backyard delicacies.

Now, if we can just get people to eat democrats

I hope the snails didn’t eat her arugula, too.

Slugs rolled in flour and salt. Yum!

Just make sure you salt the flour and not the slugs directly.
