Apparently you can eat garden snails, according to our chef son. You just have to feed them for a week until they poop what you feed them to clean them out, then give them some water. There's a YouTube clip called 'how to eat garden snails'
theres plenty in our garden, wonder if I should have a go
Husky, you don't know what you started

Eating 144 snails! That's gluttony.

reading slug up there reminded me of when we were are the Coniston site, our middle daughter was about four (she's now 20) was startled and shouted there was a slug in the grass, a southern family (from south London) came over to see what she was talking
about and said 'oh she means a slaaag' they weren't being nasty and we talked a while about where we were from.Of all the children she does have the most pronounced geogdie accent, two year ago we were in some tea room in a small village in Norfolk and as one couple were leaving they said how they could listen to her accent all day and how lovely it was!

There was a geordie family staying in the same hotel as us on Lanzarote.
We heard them trying to ask the waiter for some sparkling wine and after a bit the waiter realised what they were asking for. "In zis country, we call it Cava, signeur"
Relieved that he spoke English, our friend from the north replied "Way aye man, we call it Prosecco in oor cuntry"

As this thread has meandered a bit, thought I'd do a bit more - back to the garden though - cutting the grass, if you can keep your shoes intact, do you keep cutting if it starts to rain? and, if you come across a snail, what do you do with it apart
from putting it in the eating bucket?0 -

when I used a push it yourself mower then i used to carry on if it wasn't too bad, now with electric I'd probably stop.
Btw I did see in a second hand shop a lawnmoor for sale! In geordie it sounds correct.
Do you mean see a snail as you approche it with the lawnmower?

no don't see snails when mowing, it's just that they and grass cutting were the subjects of the thread so I thought I'd ask two questions in one. Seriously wondering about making snails a small business venture - there are an awful lot of them in our garden

Well SteveL, I guess that Thrushes would be at the head of your customer queue. They certainly are in my garden.
never thought of a bird restaurant, we certainly have a variety to tempt. The blackbirds enjoy snails but the pigeons would rather have peanuts
