The French snails are too big to be good for eating. They look like slugs.
By the way, there is a new gourmet trend in Spain called white caviar or pearls of Aphrodite (for its supposed afrodisiac effect) which is the snail eggs. It is obtained in nurseries and the small and labourious production makes it reach a price of 1,600 euros per kilogram. ![]() I love them. But I got poisoned nine years ago in Galicia while eating oysters after a red tide, on New Year's morning. Ever since then I am a little scared when I eat them.
