    Don't know how they taste, but they may land you in jail. They are a protected species in North America.

    According to my mom and some of my uncles and aunts that grew up in the depression they ate all kinds of Pond scoggins(oldtimers name for wading birds)as well as some other animals one dorsn't usually think of eating. Apparently when you are hungry enough any meat is good if that's all you've got.

    Sure in a true survival situation or in true desperation I would eat my dog, or any animal I can catch but just to eat a protected species or any non game animal just to try it NOPE WONT HAPPEN.

    Just confirming they are protected if anyone has any doubt. They are protected period.

    Let me expand on what I ment , so no one think I am advocating eating a protected species. But if I am lost, stranded or in a total EOTWAWKI situation and havent eaten in 4, 5, 6 days or more and before I get to week to catch anything Im sorry but the first thing I see that has any type of meat on it that i can catch is supper. But today right now no I wouldnt eat any thing that wasnt in season or I had a liscence to catch or any animal thats protected, even a fish thats just That much under limit.

    You were clear the first time. I was just making my opinion clear for the group. OK so it's the 150lb. snail that just went by or the blue heron? HMMMMM!

    Not sure how you would prepare a 150lb. snail. I think (Ken) would probably have a survival recipe!

    Slice thinly. Sautee in butter, a splash of white wine, shallots, and garlic. Serve with a dollup of garlic/shallot sour cream, toast points, and the rest of the white wine - chilled.

    Your tastes are a little more refined than mine, therefore take longer to express. Just consider it aging - like a fine wine or scotch.

    A small mound, like 3 or 4 tablespoons worth.

    It's easy. They don't run all that fast.
