Angels4 Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 Oh Cinnamon..........thank you, thank you, thank you! I thought I was going to be the only one to say I like them, OH does as well! Seagazer already thinks I'm mad anyyway (from the favourite food thread). Jackiex Edited to say welcome back Mark, you were missed. I might try them again on my next trip to Paris. I didn't like anchovies until I had them in a Salad Nicoise while it France and quite liked them. Maybe only the French can prepare them correctly. Thanks for the welcome back Jackie, I missed being able to interact with you all on a daily basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fowlbird Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 My lovely, well brought up daughter described the only one she tried as tasting like a giant bogie. and she knows that how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 This is how I would describe oysters on the half (raw)...I also tried sushi for the first on this cruise and quite liked it. Go figure. I never fancied oysters but yep, I'll agree with the sushi as I like it too. However, after stopping eating meat a few months back, I've now gone the whole way and so I don't eat fish now either. No more sushi for me On the other hand, next time a jolly waiter tries to get me to eat a snail on our next cruise, I can just smile sweetly and say I'm a veggie (which may make him not try to push the issus, unlike last time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Pudding Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I do - love 'em Me too. A dozen please, with garlic butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I like them. Apparently you can eat the snails from your garden but you have to keep them in a bucket and purge them of the rubbish in their system by feeding them a restricted diet but I am not brave (or skint) enough to try it!

Ardene5 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Hi One question I can not answer because never had them but the sound of what they are as I have just looked them up is no thanks. I stick to a sea food platter if you do not mind .... get some nice one in Cyprus.... nice place to go on holiday, as they drive on the same side as UK drivers, sorry not right for our USA friends though as they drive on the other side to us. Once read that the reason for so many tornadoes in USA was cause by them driving on the wrong side of the road. That was in an article in New Scientist about 20 years ago and had alway stuck in my mind. Do not think they are right as the UK gets them too but not as big Happy eating to those who like these snails. Best regards to those who do not like them.

chickenanne Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I used to live in Japan... I love sushi, and sashimi. And so long as you don't think about how mussels and other filter-feeders eat/digest food, I love them too.... and snails.... yum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
