Eat your garden snails

Having posted the video of them in action yesterday, I though I'd mention that I saw a programme recently where Gordon Ramsey explained that the snails in your garden are just as good to eat as escargot you'd get in a posh restaurant. Here's how to prepare them -

Before you can eat garden snails you have to get rid of their toxins. For the first two days, leave the snails in a container without any food, washing them regularly with clean water. On day three, give them a carrot and leave them for a couple of days until you see orange droppings. Finally, wash them again and place them in the fridge in a sealed container which sends them into a deep sleep. They are then ready to be cooked!

Those crazy snails

If we could talk to snails, we'd probably find out that they're actually adrenalin junkies. They're always playing chicken on the pavement with the passers by, and judging by this YouTube vid (made with Flix), they're forever messing around with each other like hyper-active monkeys, only at a slower pace.

Flix users have already shown me their lazy cats and now these daredevil snails. Someone must have a pet turtle, pet taranchula or domesticated python. Let's have a look at what they get up to!
