Slow Menu

French cuisine for some see it crude. Eating snails appear horribly lewd, but well known in France, its folk took a stance, as the French cannot stand fast food.

Hello Emilia ... I ate half a slug once. It was inside a spring onion stem. Funnily I never got a penchant to eat slugs or snails after that - thank you Emilia - Lindsay

Hi Lindsay. Reminds of first time I muched the molluscs. With plenty of garlic and oatmealed out they are a treat. Tony

G'day Tony ... I believe most of us who abhor the thought is just a mind thing. I avoid offal that others would die for - thank you Tony - Lindsay

Too cute Lindsay. I don't care for chasing my meal across the table either. That's why I like my meat very well done. If it's still fighting for it's life I'll just let it go. (or maybe take it home and make a pet out of it.) Loved this. God Bless, JB

G'day Rico ... a bit like abalone. Why that is so expensive I don't know, but hang on, abalone is a type of slug - thanks Rico - Lindsay
