David Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Missus joined one of those gin clubs, went down to see what she got and found these, what's wrong with cheese & onion, why mess with perfection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyinLiverpool Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Salt and Vinegar are perfection. Snails are effing horrible. One of the most traumatic food experiences of my life was trying snails on a trip to France. Why anyone would want these is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Snails don't really taste of much, it's the sauce you have them with that's everything. They're great for the texture. Makes no sense putting that in a crisp. How do they taste? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will not be trying one, or even smelling inside the bag, I don't think I'll even sit in the same room when she eats them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this what drinking gin does to your tastebuds, I'll stick with the malt whisky and haggis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were originally marketed as a pisstake by the Hedgehog food company in the early 80s. Then, when they were done for breach of advertising standards, the owner did some research with British gypsies - who do eat hedgehogs - to recreate the actual flavour....

They send a bottle of gin, 4/5 mixers, and 3 snacks. It’s not too bad value really, £20 and the bottle itself was worth £35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I went snail crazy one holiday. Tried them once and couldn't get enough. Had a bit of a problem for a while. Bloody lovely they are. Wonder what they're like battered and deep fried? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
