mole trapper 1,693 Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 These snails are often called the Roman snail (Helix Pomatia), thought to have been brought over with the romans, the area of the cotswolds i was born in has a lot of these, this area was also an extremley major roman centre. These are the ones you pay a fortune for in french and italian resturants, known as escargot, Our common snail, which the french call petit gris, (helix aspersa), is equally edible, and personally my favourite, in the shell, tossed in melted garlic butter. :tongue4: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
