Attached is a very fuzzy picture of a snail that has invaded my yard and garden for the last 3 years. There are a lot of them and they are quite large. I have enjoyed eating escargot in Portugal, France and Germany and have directions for purging them and cooking them. Paula Wolfert, the famous expert on Mediterranean cuisine says people in California should eat the snails rather than driving over them in their driveways.
Does anyone know if this particular type of snail could be used for decent escargot? That would certainly solve my snail problem.
