Hope you all are taking advantage of this perfect gathers weather!
We produce far more greens for the compost than we could use so we have a heap near the composter container. Snails of course love the stuff especially in wet weather, nothing can get my tummy rumbling like realise it's going to be jam packed with snails by the time I get home from work!
I'll let them detox over the weekend and tuck in Tuesday!
Plenty of lil' uns still in the pile for the next few weeks.

Never had them,but never say never.
My brother in law loved them when he lived in France.
Q: what do they taste like( and don't say chicken )

Can you really use regular snails for eating? I always assumed they were a special variety. Hmmmm I have enjoyed snails in the past with a bunch of garlic butter.

Will let you know how they turn out!
The humble garden variety snail is in deed the edible kind there are some protected species in the uk tho so just be careful of that.
My rule is if they survive three days they are good to eat!
You can Google how to identify ones that are not protected under UK law.

Certainly normally no shortage of slugs in my area but there seem to be a few less snails at the moment.

I thought to "clean" snails, you stood them in milk to clean them through for a couple of days, not that I've ever eaten them Uck, look like chewy varmits to me

Who needs Ant and Dec eh? I'm not into shellfish much either well not the snaily type eeewwwww
I have a strategy, it's not written in stone, nor can it be, this scenario has too many variables, everything about it depends on those variables, being specific is not possible.
