Hi Michaella and Drc!

I haven't had much to photograph, lately...but I'm working on it lol!
This is a picture of a large snail cooked in chilli pepper sauce...
I had it with chips...It was a bit tough! ;)))

Oh my........

21 Nov, 2011

 

I feel a bit queasy - I don't think I could ever try one of those - and I'm not exactly a fussy eater either!

21 Nov, 2011

 

Oh yuk!

21 Nov, 2011

 

I don't think I'll have it again..... ;)

It did look a lot more like a big black slug than a French 'escargot'! lol! But...nothing ventured....

21 Nov, 2011

 

I feel like boking! lol

It was pretty tough and it looked a bit like a mushroom when I (eventually!) sawed through it...but the sauce (or, soup as they call it here) was lovely!

21 Nov, 2011

 

still yuk! lol

Yup, that's why I don't go to Africa..right there! ;) Well done KfA!!

Hi KS! I've just discussed it with Esther and she reckons it just wasn't cooked long enough! Looks like a return visit to the snail 'a la Esther' might be on the cards! lol!

No matter how hard I tried...I could not press the like button for this :)
Although I admire your stomach for trying :)

Snail n chips, could catch on : /

21 Nov, 2011

 

Heehee, Scottish and Stevie...!

Esther knows where to find really big ones (like the size of a football!)...Can't wait! lol!!

I hope you were thinking of me and 'snaily' at the time, J! lol! :)))))

21 Nov, 2011

 

LOL! :))))

22 Nov, 2011

 

lol...that thing needs at least two hours in the oven...it looks like shoe leather! ;)

22 Nov, 2011

 

Believe me, KS - you could have had everlasting wear out of it!

23 Nov, 2011

 

lol! imagine that...snail sandals!!

23 Nov, 2011

 

Make them Karen!

I'm happy to report that I have no giant snails available to me here Pixi!!

23 Nov, 2011

 

Dur...just realised you were speaking to tother Karen!!

23 Nov, 2011

 

haha well somebody should make them?
nice avatar :)

23 Nov, 2011

 

Thanks Pixi! Yes, it would be something for Karen to fill her long lonely hours with...snail hunting followed by the curing of the snail meat and the shaping and stitching of the sandals...embellished with some snail shell perhaps....lol ;)

23 Nov, 2011

 

yeah keep her away from the boat club and wine lol

23 Nov, 2011

 

She could start a cottage industry!

Snail sandals....now there's a thought! Would they have curled toes, do you think??? :)

23 Nov, 2011

 

definitely!

23 Nov, 2011

 

I could call them 'slugs'... :)

23 Nov, 2011

 

:)))) sluggies!

23 Nov, 2011

 

Definitely more catchy!! :)))))
