So, a snail walks into a car dealership, has a look at the new sportscar...salesman said the snail would look breddy cool in the new sportscar and the snail agreed...salesman asked the snail about option packages, rustproofing...you know the deal...snail says no to everything offered, but says he wants one thing done to the car...to have 'S' painted all over the car. Salesman, confus, asks why would you want 'S' painted all over your brand new sportscar??? Snail replies "so when I drive by, everybody will say look at that 'S' car go..."

Yeah; like most molluscs, they taste like what they're cooked in.
For example : Simmer snails in butter, white wine, shallots, mushrooms, and a little garlic.
With a crispy baguette o/s and a bottle of wine would make for a pretty satisfying meal.

Yeah I learned that recently and thank god not from experience. My little cousins living near Hong kong told me there were those venomous marine snails in the waters were they always swim.
