Broiled in garlic butter, they are good eats.

I brought up snail, I have read the snails are kept for a few days to learn if they have ingested pesticide. Some die, those are not shipped to France.

I went to a fancy work party and they had them(along with an open bar) and I thought they were delicious. I don't know what kind of snails they used but I have tons of them in my yard and have thought about eating them.

I'm not sure about snails myself. Some research should tell how to do it all.

A turtle was mugged by a snail. When interviewed by the police, he was of little help in describing his attacker, claiming, "It all happened so fast!".

Seems like you have to purge them for a while before you eat them.
They eat a lot of garbage.
I know a fellow who eats a lot of fresh water clams and mussels. He catches them and tosses them in a bucket of clean water. Throws in a handful of rolled oats.
After a few cycles of clean water and rolled oats he deems them okay to eat.
I think snails are the same type of deal. Maybe pesticide and herbicide free vegetables or something for a while.

I seem to recall that corn meal was used to "purge" them?

After you get over the idea - they are incredibly delicious.

We have bought the Roland brand canned escargot snails many times and made them at home. My wife has the escargot dishes and we bake them in garlic butter with havarti cheese melted over the top. Serve with some toast points for mopping up the garlic butter. Delicious!!

Pretty near every thing is delicious bathed in butter and garlic.

Since slugs are related to snails I'm thinking they will be the next menu topic.
