Do you know what is this?

Jay794 · 13 Nov 2011 at 12:39

Looks like the Sarlacc

cumulus1978 · 13 Nov 2011 at 12:45

I don't know what is Sarlacc and can't translate...there are snails done in a style of my valley with mushroorms and walnuts. When I was child I found this dish absolutely disgusting but now every autumn I eat these snails several time, excellent with polenta.

Lol, nope. I thought that also

That looks disgusting. But hey, each to their own.

Craig1981 · 15 Nov 2011 at 12:35

I dunno what it is, but it looks like its about to attack the Enterprise.

I can see a few varieties of mushroom in there, corgette, potato and carrot/swede?

Edit: Just seen that there are snails in there - very nice roasted in garlic they are!

Look's like something that someones chucked up on a city centre street at 2am on a Sunday morning.

jamenn · 15 Nov 2011 at 18:48

That looks pretty horrific

ganesh · 15 Nov 2011 at 19:02

Why anybody would ever want to eat snails is beyond my comprehension, they look absolutely foul.

Do they look any more awful than Prawns? Imagine if those things lived in your garden..

That looks disgusting, they say that you eat with your eyes :eek:

They taste amazing though. Once you get over the look, the flavour is sublime.

a bit gritty though

I know that snails are "disgusting", for me too. But if you try for the first time you have to change opinion, it seems to eat a normal meat but very fine

Craig1981 · 23 Nov 2011 at 10:12

I dont like slimy foods. Cant stomach oysters either. Or whelks.

Basically anything that resembles a wad of snot shouldnt be eaten imo
