tmac77 Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 Love snails. As for the recipe i simply order them off the menu. 1
airtrade Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 Wouldn't dream of touching them, until a few years ago someone told me it was crawfish. Tasted wonderful I'll take them whenever there on a menu! Maybe everything is good in garlic butter?

Maybe everything is good in garlic butter? Well, crawfish is something else altogether. Snail is a mollusc while crawfish is a freshwater lobster relative. Both are tasty though

Both are tasty though Sorry wasn't quite clear. After tasting it they told me what it was.lol You are correct both are very tasty. Mmmm crawfish étouffée!
Troels Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 Havent had it since I was five. We dont do much snail cooking here in Denmark. My garden is full of the big golf Ball sized ones though. Since ten years ago we have been invaded by a Brown ibirian snail, without shell - would anyone eat those? They are a pest and a menace around here, would gladly export them!

Get a hedgehog, they love slugs and will maintain your garden clean of them
Maplepie Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 Get a hedgehog, they love slugs and will maintain your garden clean of them Ever since I started burying my cigar ends in my gardens and tossing the powders on the leaves themselves, my herbs have been growing much better! And with no holes in the leaves anymore! Tobacco doesn't just taste great! Sent by the Enigma on BlackBerry.
Habana Mike Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Sort of related, don't like snails but just in the process of making Toad in the Hole for dinner, yum! Going to have a little Spotted **** for dessert?
headstand Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 The main snails raised for consumption are Helix Burgundy Snails. Dad and I used local garden snails (introduced European Snail). They grow big and fast in netted or glassed off vegetable garden here in the subtropics. We would hose them every few days, and pick them as required. A separate garden patch in the same area (netted off) When they finished eating the leaves of plants in one section, you pen up the second section. They would all be in the second section in a few days. Prep the other section and plant + net. Repeat every 6 weeks. The purging is really a process of picking 2-3 dozen snails, washing them in fresh water and putting them into a fine wire (mosquito net) cage with no food. They will form a membrane across the opening and latch themselves to the wire. They clean out their intestinal system. 30 days later, collect them and wash them in warm water with a little salt. They are ready to cook. Thank you gentleman...
headstand Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 &!#**# would you believe Helix group snails are banned in Canada! Live ones that is...
