Me too... The first and only place I've had snails was at the East Rand Mall in Jo'Burg, Sth Africa. They were super yummy and very very filling.Well that is a pretty basic snail setup but it looks good and it should work great hey. So it has no floor then? The little buggers can't get under can they? Will it drain easy enough in a heavy downpour or is it under an eve or cover?
I had no idea you could eat any snail in the backyard! Do you have to purge your snails like in the Gordon Ramsay video or are yours a special breed? It looks a fairly easy process to purge them and prepare for eating anyway. I've only had the French style garlic snails myself (in Morocco actually and once in South Africa) but I quite like the idea of frying them with a pancetta base and served on top of dressed salad - YUM!
Some close-up pics of your snails (as they develop) would be nice if possible...
Actually I remember that is not totally true. When I was about 3 we lived on 1.5 acres in Toongabbie, Sydney. My mum and aunty caught me in the storm drain eating snails raw. I was tough back then... Nerves of steel I tell you!!!
OK so here is my little addition. What would be a dish you would cook using snails and produce you grow yourself? Be creative and feel free to include other food items you create or harvest...
