I just googled them ... and you can EAT Helix pomatia! No they not what I got in my garden - thanks goodness for them. Now I gotta find some to farm with .... snails!

Oh oh ...... Had a friend for dinner tonight who is a Chef here in Ch .... and he said "Yes! The Helix Pomatia - the "Vineyard Snail" is definitely edible .... and PROTECTED!".....

..... They are the Big snails ..... they only eat decayed matter.... The pests are the small ones who eat the vegetables and flowers! Shame... I feel ashamed..... for killing perfectly Innocent Snails along with my enemy ones!

Oh well, I console myself that I`m never tooooo old to learn something new ... and now I am having to educate all my neighbors!

Well,they're relatively easy to Farm.
Probably would be a good source of Income!!

I think slugs & snails are kinda cute. I even used to keep them in a glass jar when I was a kid. They're fun to watch and to handle.

When we go for a dog walk after rain, I try to make sure I don't step on any. I certainly wouldn't eat them...

Have you been reading too much Harry Potter lately?

Thought from the title of this thread, it was one about people - clearly it is not.

Yes, so I have seen! In SA there is a very distinctive Carnivorous Snail that is a predator of the "pest" ones ... also protected!

By the way, my chef friend says he would Never eat these Helix Pomatia ones!........? asked why ... he just pulled a face and shivered!

They taste about like a Handful of Lawn Clippings.
The Herb-Butter is about the only thing giving them Taste.
Prefer a CONCH any-day and twice on Sunday.

Nope,quite a few of them are Carnivorous,and most of the maritime Slugs are.

Please inform your readers that the carnivorous slugs only eat other slugs ....... not humans! or dogs, or cats, or canaries........

smoky has seen snails and snugs ... when we people see how all the other animals are slaughtered for food and we do eat them... and we say "God created for mankind" and man is no more kind and he is no more mankind.. but a mancruel....

Save all lives on earth.... we do fight for save trees... but are not animals more valuable than trees... ???

Do not go swimming off Bugibba Bay.....there has been an invasion by giant predatory
Maritime Slugs!!....if you happen to feel giant suckers on your back while swimming,

What happened was, a rather large amphibious being known as a Beer-Bellied Bikini-clad Brit Broad rubbed hulls with me in the water....needless to say, she didn't appreciate the vitamin C infusion....

aha ahaaaa...plenty of them around and in their bikini too..

Do you wear a bikini Marti??...if you do, I swear I'll wear my speedo.....(and freak out Smokey...)...

of course i do and dont you dare come near my site wearing a triangle shaped speedo...prefer the tight shorts

I'm sure Smoky looks great in hers and all the huge amphibians will disappear and drown themselves..

...no, Smokey has this thing about seeing men in Speedos......she has this spontaneous reaction.....the bigger the banana, the bigger the -

I have a horrible feeling that Rusty died and has been re-incarnated as Lagoona?

My dear man, do you not know, yet, that only Gay Guys wear Speedos? ... or Weight-Lifters cause they ... or never mind their reasons .....suffice to say, mostly Gays wear them ... or realy weird guys who arent Lifeguards.

To be able to recall my likes/dislikes on this subject - They were not likes or dislikes, merely a comment on How Do Guys Have The Courage To Subject Their Private Parts To All And Sundries Scrutiny Whilst Clinglingly Clad In Shimmering Nylon Lycra? Most women do not realy like them. I suppose some women do like them - for reasons known only to themselves. Personally I would not be seen dead on the beach with a guy in a speedo. .. or alive. I prefer a man to look Manly, not a Peacock strutting with his goods on display.
