Eating Garden Snails

This site is to follow up the short piece on the One Show (BBC1) in April 2009. It has more information on how to prepare garden snails for cooking and eating them, a couple of recipes, as well as keeping and breeding. The garden snail, Helix aspersa, came to Britain with the Romans, who liked to eat them, they may have come earlier, in the Bronze age, but didn’t spread much. It’s the snail most cultivated for food and is known as “petit gris”. Put comments at bottom of page!
