This is a good and easy time to
collect some snails to eat, in Northern Europe
at least.
It’s the traditional time of year
in France. Thy can be cooked without any prior
preparation. They have gone into
hibernation, but not used their fat yet.
They don’t need to have their guts cleaned.
Look among rocks,
under stones or slabs, or pieces of wood in a wood pile.
Take large ones, but leave some in
each place to continue their lives.
You need a minimum of 6 per person
for a dish. ENJOY!
