Well, here in the South of France, after the rare occasion s when it rains, all the locals are to be seen wearing wellies and carrying carrier bags collecting snails. Let them "clean themselves out", what nonsense - straight onto the BBQ with some garlic butter. Delicious!

A while ago, I was reading about escargot and it might have been an Italian preparation, but it recommended keeping them alive for a while to 'clean themselves out' i.e. get all the snail turds out of their systems. I wouldn't eat them anyway, but to each their own I guess.

Snails give a satisfying crunch. Slugs - on the other hand...

I don't like slugs on the other hand or this hand :)
