I spent a few weeks camping in costa rica and ate allot of cool things i would have never been exposed to. I can honestly say that out of everything i tried, only 2 things didn't sit right, sea cucumber and this one really odd looking bird that actually flew into the rock i had thrown at some fruit in a tree.
I'd advise anyone to try something out before forming an opinion and taking it to the grave.

I agree - dont knock it til you try it! Personally wouldnt want to eat any animal that has died of "natural causes" - i want my dead animal to be killed in its prime so the meat is nice and fresh and tasty!!

Nothing in this house "dies of natural causes" all my herps that i had as a kid died when i turned 17 during a 30 hour power loss during an ice storm, everything else is still with me now, the snakes and lizards/alligators/crocs i've eaten have all been wild I used to breed crayfish and ate those all the time. I'm not talking about eating your pets specifically, more to trying something out before you say no, whenever you visit other countries your bound to find new food and if you keep moving and wait for a burger the only person your cheating is yourself. Just try it and if you dont like it say no.

I don't know about that. I have never eaten a snail, nor will I ever eat a snail unless I am without any food and desperate.

I don't deny that it may be delicious. It is very possible. Nothing can change the fact, however, that a snail is essentially some muscle and an organ sack wrapped in mucus. Literally. I don't want to eat mucus. I don't care if it's the best tasting mucus known to man. I don't want it.

I ate at that chinese restaurant almost every day. It was next to my friends shop and they had the most amazing chicken on a stick. I always wonders wher on a chicken would they get such a piece of meat ate and enjoyed. Well one day they got shut down I was bummed then found out they had got caught serving cat lol my question was answered.

If i didn't LOVE snail that statement might have been enough to make trying it difficult:P I'm gona copy that and save it for a rainy day:P

We had sweet and sour snail and frog legs in a chinese restaurant in Paris, both just taste like chicken

mistersprinkles · 04-24-11, 06:41 AM

I'm sure they taste ok. Again though, ball of snot. Not for me.
Snails are pretty smart, too, believe it or not.

I had an apple snail (pomacea canaliculata) years ago in an aquarium. If I tapped the top of the tank he'd come to the surface and hold his foot out like a hand for me to give him a food pellet.

I was actually told by an internet friend who's brother is highway patrol in New York state that they purposely pull over every single car they see with Quebec plates because "Quebecers have an attitude problem" and they don't want them in the state.

Not you, of course. You're cool. Stop eating your pets.

cant wait to for the fishing season to start!

I dunno anything about Quebec but I grew up in the Southern US and we often caught, raised, and ate various animals. Squirrels, rabbits, opossum, raccoon, quail, pheasant...even found a young deer and managed to keep it alive to eat several months later. If I ever have pet ducks or chickens and can find someone to clean them I would not be opposed to eating them. I have also eaten wild caught snakes before. Its just a more "country" way of life to eat what you find and raise what you eat.
