When I lived
in San Francisco I barely knew my neighbors - except the bikers who lived in a house
across the street. It's often funny how
the people who are outcasts can be the nicest - these guys always looked out
for me…
They also
asked if they could come into my back yard to gather SNAILS!
They
collected them and then cooked them for dinner…
Apparently way
back when, the French brought snails to San Francisco and the snails, being
resourceful little critters, escaped.
And being
super fast at the reproduction game these tasty morsels took over… and voila
fancy dinners available in your own backyard… really weird!
My
knowledgeable neighbors informed me that the best way to catch these escargot
on the hoof was to set out little tiny containers of beer…
No I am not making
this up!
And NO! I did not eat them!
