Good point :D
Then you just have to select the right species. In France people only eat burgundy snails, they have a light brown color (with garlic, parsil and butter :yum: ), so the one shown on the picture is not the one to eat, so this is french compliant :)
(BTW, people eat snails also in north africa, like Marroco, Tunisia, Algeria... and I guess in alot of other places as well)

Sure, we eat snails here too. Well, some of us do. ;)

I bet the lag time for Doom would be horrible.

One of my doc's plan for the future is to retire to his homeland and raise snails. He has jobs for all of us on his snail farm. I will be in charge of snail security. We will spend our mornings tending to the snails and in the afternoon retire to his porch and drink palm wine and smoke the finest weed that Western Africa has to offer.
