BUY LIVE SNAILS
Helix aspersa maxima, live edible snails, prepared ready to cook. New season's snails now ready to go.
N.B. *Check availability before ordering
The baby snails were reared indoors for the first few weeks of their lives in a protected environment, fed on a mixture of dry foods including powdered milk. The snails were then transferred to a life in the open air at Brogdale Farm (home of the National Fruit Collection) where their dry food was supplemented with fresh fruit in season from the packhouse and a variety of vegetables. When they reached full size, they were taken indoors to prepare them for cooking. Food was withdrawn for a few days during which they were washed and given water to drink to make sure they eliminated as much waste as possible. Then they were left to dry.
Live snails are usually sold in dozens.
