I put snails from my garden into the council compost bin. They can
then enjoy a big last meal or two before they are turned into
compost.

I will always explain revoked keys, unless the UK government
prevents me by using the RIP Act 2000.

The Food Programme on Radio 4 today was lamenting the fact that the
British forgot during the industrial revolution that garden snails are
edible. Before that time they were commonly eaten. Apparently they are
both tasty and nutritious. There was some discussion of snail porridge,
which is vivid green due to heavy use of parsley and has whole snails in it.

I was not persuaded. On the other hand the little [censored] are chewing
my garden to bits. Perhaps somebody can advise on how snails can best be
used as part of well-balanced cyclist's diet?

Yeah, right. That would be why the Serapu drown them in garlic to
disguise the taste.

I think the statement should definitely be followed by the standard
disclaimer "FSVO"!

Hmmm. Lots of a fairly strongly-flavoured herb. Why would that be
needed? Ah yes: see above :-)

Quite.

If you do a lot of travelling you pretty quickly find there are very few
bits that are thrown, away and those that are are because they are
poisonous. Virtually every nation has foods it considers delicacies
that another would find revolting. Deep fried silkworks, witchetty
grubs and mountain oysters anyone with a side dish of liver and onions?

The snails in my garden seem to be able to find their own way into the
compost bin.

Then they can also find their way out:-) My method ensures that they
remain there until taken off for composting.
