Ialway said I would never eat snail, but one time I was nagged into trying them in the shell, they are delicious..

You are more brave than I.

I don't think I could get one into my mouth.

Raw oysters on the 1/2 shell was another one that took several drinks to get down, but they are also tasty slurping them from the shell...I think I would eat one without being 1/2 drunk the next time....:O) they were fresh that morning out of the Chesapeake bay, shucked within hours.

It was for my niece's wedding, after the big hall wedding, about 50 people were invited to my sister home...They spent a lot of time on their boat and knew a few of the guys that ran the oyster boats. They were invited back home and brought a large bushel basket of fresh oysters with them.

The guy sat in the back yard shucking them and I walked around serving them on a platter. really yummy..the juices in the shell were tasty, just throw back your head and slurp them down...I only staggered a little...bumped into a couple of walls, but stayed on my feet....

They don’t look like snails after being cooked (fried or sautee’d I think) then put back in the shell, you take them out of the shell with a little fork and dip in butter....very good, try one, you’ll like it...:O)
