Net bags full of them are readily available in the supermarket.

And at the right time of year all the cafes will have signs proclaiming that they 'ha caracois'

I had intentions of following this practice when i got home , firstly to get beer at 1.5 euro a pint meant putting on a batch of homebrew--not too difficult, then round up some snails. But after a few snails into the bucket and i found a whole bunch of them , feeding on dog turds !!!, so that ended my gastronomic revenge .

Price per kilogram. Pounds and pints are a bit unheard of around here...

\tony uljee wrote:While st there is a tradition of snail eating here in rural ireland ,its the from the sea --the periwinkel--very rarely available now as overharvesting has reduced them in quantity and down to the size of a pea once you have wiggled it out of the shell , traditionally done with a pin , which i thought was risky enough seeing as they were sold in bags outside the busy pubs after many pints of porter. Now im not a fussy carnivore but those things looked like snot after a days work in a dusty field and tasted worse , yet most people here would retch in horror at tackling a land snail--once properly fed and purged i would now have to advise. But we do now have i think 2 organic snail farming enterprises in ireland , but not farming the local deviant veg killers but rather the large giant african one which was brought in via the pet trade , so far it hasn t been reported to have escaped into the countryside, and the market for some of these are our immigrants population coming in from central africa ,nigeria mostly where it is traditionally enjoyed .

so am i right in thinking that if i get a fish tank, pick a load of these and imprison them in it, feed them on flour and wait 48 hours, I can eat them?? It sounds bizarre enough to have a go at
