I really love escargot in garlic, sherry wine, and butter, but one of the comments here made me wonder how this foreign visitor could be utilized...he or she is too larger to pop in your mouth in one bite, but I am thinking chop them up in snail chowder! In New England we eat a lot of clam chowder, and the clams and snails are almost identical in consistency! 😊

@4meAndyou I believe the majority of fear here is their reproduction rate as it seems to have a voracious appetite for pretty much anything. In terms of including them in a diet for human consumption, their controled environment actually makes them a super food source ironically for much the same reasons.

@Vaper Well I would enjoy them as a food source...already love snails.

@4meAndyou As do I. I just wish not to discover ones sqished remains beneath my barefoot in the dark.

We just got an invasive crayfish but they eat zebra muscles and are edible.

@DearAmbellina2113 News claimed they attach to vehicles and machinery hence traveling long distances. They are Body Snatchers I say.
