Malakh: Snails are unclean, since yall don't keep dietary laws, you eat whatever, yall eat abominable things, yall call it delicacies

You need to understand how to make it hygienic before cooking it.

Are they saying that Americans don't eat snails? Abeg they should park well. I sense there is more ro it.

I am shocked that they would say such things about African giant snails. These snails are around us here and I have never seen a farmer describe snails as a threat to crops.

I hope they are not trying to make us start importing their own genetically engineered CRAP.

Farmers in the house please educate us

Am tempted to believe that, the importer was trying to start snail rearing business in US

Am also of the opinion that those snails are possibly infected taking into consideration of how snails are being reared in Nigerian context.

We Africans can eat those snails and may never fall ill, but this may not be the same for Us citizens.

Its difficult to justify the destruction of the snails, but Its important to note that, the best way to handle inferior goods is to destroy them.

Finally, dear importer, my condolences for your loss, kindly restrategize on the business plan, or better still do the business in Nigeria, we have the market, its gonna sell.

For those traveling abroad for greener pastures, its not as green as it appears.
You can get a container along the road and start a SME business in Nigeria, but Overseas hmmm …

Wash your snails inside brine, that is concentrated salt, before cooking or frying.

Eat your delicacy. Right now, I am rearing snails in the compound. Very peaceful animals. They don't want sunshine.

Yes they talked of meningitis and snails being contaminated by rats. But all one needs to stay away from all kinds of diseases is solid hygiene.

So in essence Oyibo is trying to say that we Nigerians eating snails are already disease carriers, that we are contaminated and are dangerous species to United States of America. Ok oooo but bring back our snails.
