No snails but in a restaurant I order a starter I didn't understand and ended up with some delicious prawns accompanied by seven great whelks and a thin fork to prise out the tasteless rubbery flesh.<BR/>M&M I included the horsey picture specially for you.<BR/>BY GEORGE. Thanks for the photographic compliment. Did I eat snail pudding? OR Did you eat snail, Pudding? Snail pudding is not my favourite dessert.<BR/>ROB CLACK. You have not convinced me on the snail front. Snails make my palette feel clacky!<BR/>JENNYTA. How come you got so dirty in France that it took all day to wash yourself? Keith could have hosed you down in the garden!<BR/>REIDSKI. Shhh! M&M might hear us but I have (whisper) also eaten horse. Barbecued horse steaks are delicious.<BR/>FRIDAY. English people abroad generally expect everybody else to speak English but I do speak some rudimentary French mon cherie! "Voulez vous couchez avec moi ce soir?" usually goes down well at the supermarket checkout.<BR/>ARCTIC FIX. Biarritz was a lovely surprise. I could happily spend a week or two there and I would never forget my camera!<BR/>RILLY SUPER. What is an "Indulgence"?

Brilliant!<BR/><BR/>And I agree about Lourdes. I'm with Dawkins. Nuff said.<BR/><BR/>I must put in a word in favour of snails. I like them and in fact have cooked and eaten my own at home. Collected 2 dozen adult garden snails, purged them for a couple of weeks, 2 changes of strong brine to get rid of the slime, cook in a stock and white wine sauce. Serve with garlic butter - yum!Rob Clackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15461714931300617149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-74444011817958753572007-08-11T05:24:00.000+01:002007-08-11T05:24:00.000+01:00Not an atheist.

Also water caught from the first rain fall of May is good too. <BR/> Yea..I don't want snails either..

The temptation to give into "magical thinking" is there, though. I have often prayed before going on a journey not so much out of heartfelt devotion to God as hope that the prayer will shield me from angry, crazy motorists.<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed the photos, YP! Did you eat the snails? I ate part of an <I>escargot</I> once and didn't enjoy it. I suspect that had the critter been sauteed in butter and garlic, I would have had a much better experience.
