Am I Missing Any Impotant Nutrient By Not Eating Snail(how Nutritious Is Snail?) by freecocoa(f): 2:01pm On Oct 02, 2011
I've never tasted snail since I was born,I remember as a kid my mum tried forcing me into eating it(I'm a very choosy person)I don't eat any sea food(fish,shrimp,periwinkle etc) and some types of food,I've been that way since childhood.

I went visiting and was offered snail peppersoup but I declined and said I don't eat snail,my host just said “NO WONDER YOU ARE LIKE THIS”I asked what she meant she just laughed and said“I mean that's why you are in shape”but I don't believe her cause I sensed sarcasm in her voice so I want to know if I'm missing any Important nutrient by being very choosy about food especially snail and beans.t by being very choosy about food especially snail and beans.

u aint being choosy- but beans makes sense especially with bread or yam- i believe u r over 18-so essentially u've stopped growing- too late "no wonder u r like that" grin grin grin

Lol! ''No wonder you're like this'' . . I've been told this several times, and it's usually in reference to my physique.
Beans and snail are high in protein and very yummy, if prepared well. It will do you no harm to consume them sometimes.

Snail is an acquired taste so i doubt you're missing anything per se by not eating any.

Its just that you're a minority in a place where snails are consumed regularly and ar considered a delicacy.

So, dont tell people you dont eat it, and if you're somewhere where it was prepared, try to have some in order to avoid offending your host. Its actually very tasty and tastes like turtle or maybe alligator.

Firm, rubbery taste.

How did you grow up in nigeria without eating snail btw.

That's weird or are you not from the south?

raw food can look disgusting before it's prepared but i get your point.

Don't eat either. Never tasted it and it looks gross to me. However i won't say i won't taste it, i just have to set my mind to it.
Don't like beans too lol. But i eat alot of seafoods.
