giant African snails.... free to good home

[doctor Bob]

Hi,
We have babies, if anyone would like one let me know, warning they do get big, about the size of a tennis ball plus a bit.
Heres a piccy of one

I could probably post them (my son has asked for a small donation to his pocket money fund, optional)

They are currently the size of a tiny pea

Regards Bob

[Karl]

You've done your nails nice Bob.

Thank you Karl....

 

[Jonzjob]

Ohhhhhh! Eascargot! Yum, yum, yum. Do you ship to France??? :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Dare I say. Could be a slow moving item. ooooooooo

[Jonzjob]

I would expect that several people would be quite happy to 'shell' out for them though?

I have enough snails demolishing my Hostas already! I reckon those things would make a mess of 'Giant Rhubarb'! :shock:

 

[Jonzjob]

If you made a trap you could take Hosta-ages :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

 

[Benchwayze]

That would take me 'ages'
Do you really eat snails? Or is it the garlic you like, 'cos that makes them taste better!

John :lol:

 

[Jonzjob]

Do you like winkles and whelks John. Cause if you do then you would also like snails. Me, love em, with lots of garlic of course 8) 8) 8)

I have not cooked my own as yet. Just had them in restaurants and as the French say, miam, miam, miam!

 

[doctor Bob]

I have now eaten them all ....... tasted like chicken :lol:

 

[Benchwayze]

Not for me thanks John. Seafood generally I don't eat. Nothing out of a shell, but crab or Lobster. (I miss the RN for food like that. I made sure I got friendly with the local fishermen in Cornwall. Cost me a few pints, but I had plenty of great meals in Falmouth and area!) So, by the same token, I don't think I could face escargot.

SWIMBO and I went to Paris in '99, and LOML fell foul of food-poisoning after eating a French, seafood platter. It was a 'damn close run thing' and she was very ill. So, she who loved whelks and so on, never eats them now. I did warn her that Paris was a good way from the Sea!

Miam, Miam? is that the noise the diners make when they eat, or is it the dying wail of the escargot? :lol:

I thought a Yam-Yam was someone from Walsall or West Brom!

I must return to Paris and take in the Louvre'. I never got around to it last time.

Cheers

John .

 

[Jonzjob]

Miam, miam is the French equivelant of yum, yum 8)

There's a cracking restaraunt in Carcassonne that does a surpurb huge sea food platter! Maim, miam!

As a matter of interest do you know the difference between crabs and lobsters?

 

[Benchwayze]

Good question John...

Well I know crabs move sideways, and have eight legs? Maybe? I believe Lobsters have ten legs as well as their claws.
I know we can catch crabs, but I don't think we catch them the size of lobsters! Thank Heavens.. (different kind of crab!)
Crabs eat detritus as well as waste flesh and seaweed. Omnivores?

Lobsters are mostly carnivorous and they can eat shellfish and crabs, and occasionally each other!
Other than they both taste delicious, I don't know much more about them, unless the male gender of one or the other species nurses and carries eggs. Oh Yerse! Lobsters have tails, and I believe they swim, as opposed to just walking. I reckon they must be related to Crayfish. or maybe they ain't!

BTW... David Attenborough is my Hero!

Have I passed? :lol: :lol: :lol:

regards John

 

[Jonzjob]

Part way there!!

Lobsters don't itch :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

 

[Benchwayze]

John....

You $%*/$£@! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
You are an expert in the art of distraction:

But I really fell for that! :mrgreen:

Nice one.
John

 

[Jonzjob]

I personnaly don't know if that is true, but I was told by a couple of Army friends in Singapore that it's the case? Me, being in the R.A.F. that is, well was :roll:

John, me? Distraction? Not sure what you mean???
