I can't speak for the rest of you, of course, but I much preferred the taste of raw Stegosaurus rather than the cooked ones.  And the grubs!  The red ones you find under logs, not the white ones from under the rocks.  They were awful.

You young guys with sharp rocks had it easy.  Try digging into a Stegosaurus with only your teeth and bare hands.

Snails!!!!  Frog legs!!!  Crawdads!!!!  YUM!!!!!!!!

So good!!  I wonder if there are any fancy restaurants around that would be interested in a source of fresh, locally grown (MIO!!) snails for fancy French food??  I've been thinking about starting a snail ranch and need to be able to sell them to help defray the costs of one of my favorite bad habits...escargot!!

saw an escargot kit in wal-mart the other day. That thought just scared me. Some day I might get breve enough to try some (escargot in general), but not today.

I've had it a few times.  So far, from my experience, if you like garlic, oil/butter, mushrooms then you'll prob like snails.

I probably wouldn't get them from Walmart, but from a decent restaurant, there is not much better food.  Or grow your own and cook at home....

Much like a garlic/butter mushroom, with more "tooth" (chewier).  Good snails are exceptional!  (Soooo much better than oysters in any form....)  I am going to start the 'ranch' on a small family scale for my own use, but it would be fairly easy to expand and supply a nice restaurant or two.

Had a couple of grandkids that were about 8 to 10.  The boy ( was always trying to "get" his sister, so I offered them both some snails.  She squealed and ran away.  He looked concerned but when I told him he could eat a couple then chase her - going to "get" her with snail cooties - well, he scarfed a few.  He loved them!  Plus really had some fun going after her for the rest of the day.  It was hilarious!

I'm not a huge mushroom fan, so I don't know if I'll care too much for them.  My daughter though, who has also spent the last several years learning French, that might be a different story.
