Baby Snail

The other day my Grandson screamed and cried when he saw a snail, but was okay once I showed him it was just the shell. Tonight we saw this baby snail and he was fine and even willing to let me put it on his finger. I have to admit he was a cutie.

Thanks for all the lovely comments, I love that you come by and visit and if I haven’t been by lately or at all I will soon. Cheers!

I like this pic, I've never seen one up close! Still don't get how people can eat these things.

@scrappydoo They are actually very tastey in garlic and butter. well I think it's just the butter and garlic that I tasted. I have only had them once years ago, don't know if I would eat them again.

@flygirl I tried them once when I was a teenager in Paris. The consistency gagged me. Now I am a vegetarian AND I believe these are also against my religion but mostly I think they are kind of cute and would rather they stay alive.

@scrappydoo and I meant I've never seen an alive one up close......:P

@scrappydoo Oh I knew you meant you had never seen a live one, have you ever ate one?

[Stalked]

Yes, in Paris, I think I was 16 and the texture was horrifying!
