the story of the snails

let me share with you a funny/disgusting story that happened a couple of weeks ago.

it had been raining alot here so of course the snails were in paradise, and out in the open. seeing all these snails had suddenly inspired me to try gourmet french cooking. yup, escargot. i looked up on the Internet how to cook them and i read that it is important to purify them for 2 weeks by feeding them snail-poison less food (see picture). so i purified them (we counted 44 snails).

my sister commented that this would forever be remembered as the great snail massacre hehe, and it was, thought at the time of the 'harvest' there were only 25, hmmm i wonder how that happened. the day we cooked them i quit. how could i send these cute, little, innocent creatures into the cruel boiling water? so my other sister took over and she killed them! and this is coming from the person who started the whole thing lol.

epilogue

nobody could eat them. so they sat in a little jar in the fridge for like a week until someone tossed them. the moral of the story is not to ever think you can be a gourmet french cook and cook escargot. take my word for it, it's not worth it.
