Use Lime or lemon juice.

I'm sure there's plenty of that in barbados right?

they'll never grow beyond that size. Some snails are just meant to be a particular size so stop wasting ur food. grin

I think the snails we eat are the giant snails found in tropical forests.
Re: Help! The Big Snails Are Moving In The Bag! by omoge(f): 8:44pm On Nov 06, 2008
So Leilah, all you have been talking about since was sea snail? which one is sea snail? what i know is African giant snail found in the tropics. it is a beautiful animail and lives in tropics.

am pretty sure this giant snails are not found in europe and immigrations does not allow them in maybe. so enlighten us what you bought at the asian store my padi and what you feeding our okonkwo grin
Re: Help! The Big Snails Are Moving In The Bag! by Leilah(f): 10:00pm On Nov 06, 2008
the one I got was quite similar a huge shell, but when I looked into this they are called whelks (giant sea snails they can be sourced in EU) quite simlar in taste my husband loved them.

I can also find the giant african ones at the local naija foodstore. I havn't bought them yet though. They are always available there. So they are not sea snails? wow, so where are they found? on roadsides? thats a bit dodgy isn't it?

Are they very safe to eat? I have eaten them once and I thought it was ok.
Re: Help! The Big Snails Are Moving In The Bag! by omoge(f): 10:39pm On Nov 06, 2008
hehe Leilah smiley

i fell while jubilating over Obama and hit my shoulder. i went to the PT and after doing lots of test her remarks, girl, you are so strong smiley i laughed. i have a super muscle hehe.

see i eat snails and am not dead yet. just so you know, they are safer than mad cow

Frog is much better shocked grin cool grin
Re: Help! The Big Snails Are Moving In The Bag! by Leilah(f): 1:05pm On Nov 07, 2008
Yeah they probably are come to think of it. They are feeding animals all sorts of crap over here to pump them up. The meat in the west is becoming so flavourless. I reckon those snails are fat free??

Re: Help! The Big Snails Are Moving In The Bag! by omoge(f): 1:53am On Nov 08, 2008
i heard they don't have fats.
a really good meat. i'd prefer snails to any other meats anyday.

D'uuuuh just because sammy wants to pick some snails from the road side (bushy areas) in Barbados don't mean the
ones they sell at the African stores are 'just' picked from the road side, they are from snail farms

Ify- some snails are tiny, they'll never grow past 5cms tongue
Re: Help! The Big Snails Are Moving In The Bag! by IsiomaIgwe(f): 10:18pm On Nov 08, 2008

Re: Help! The Big Snails Are Moving In The Bag! by Frizy(m): 10:24pm On Dec 23, 2008

Re: Help! The Big Snails Are Moving In The Bag! by jovi: 12:02am On Dec 23, 2010
pls for those of ou that are experts in the snail biz, twice now after washing my snails with alum and cooking, they have been bitter/have a bitter taste, what could be the cause of this?, or could it be that the person i sent to buy was given dead snails??, (this wasnt happening b4)
Re: Help! The Big Snails Are Moving In The Bag! by Freesia(f): 1:46pm On Dec 23, 2010
lol This reminds me of when I visited one of my close friends and she asked me if she can cook the snail for me.I nearly ran out of the house due to shock.I later found out they are expensive and she just wanted to treat me to something nice.I felt really bad to have offended her by refusing

*Gasp*

Oh. . . embarassed embarassed embarassed

Snails are meant to be alive before they are prepared. If you're brave enough, crack the shells while they're alive or you put them all (shells and all) into boiling water and wait until they come out of their shells. remove entrails and clean the slime thoroughly with lime or alum. . .

There you go. . .

Oh, lest I forget. . .

ALWAYS CHECK TO SEE IF THE SNAILS ARE ALIVE O!

Much love.
