Snails, anyone?

There were things we ate when we were young that can't be mentioned in polite company. We were so poor. But today we are still eating weird things like snails. We never ate snails when we were growing up, the snails in Borneo are huge, slimy and nasty. We just smash and kill them because they will get into the vegetable garden and devour everything. In Morocco, we ate a lot of snails. We were walking around the cemetery in Rabat and came upon this colony of snails and I thought to myself, 'this is one of the many places where the vendors get their snails for their soup pot on the streets in Morocco.
