Edible Snail
(Helix pomatia), an invertebrate of the subclass Pulmonata of the class Gastropoda. The edible snail is widely found in Europe. It lives at the edges of forests, in parks, and in brush and spends the winter in the soil. It feeds on green leaves and humus. In southern and southwestern Europe both local and imported edible snails are consumed as food. Because of an increase in the consumption of edible snails, special breeding farms have been set up. The edible snail is not an agricultural pest. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

Nearly 12 years after conservationists asked government to help save the disappearing water vole, the whiskered creature that inspired the character Ratty in Kenneth Grahame's Wind in the Willows - along with seahorses, a shark and an edible snail - has become one of Britain's most protected species. I had thought that the edible snail might be a separate breed, but, no, they are plucked from the hedgebacks and laired on sawdust for a time to cleanse the internals. |
