fucking phone rotated the pic on it's own
> slow food threadSo like, only ingredients of slow things? Either way, eating snails is baste
>>22030758just random snails from the yard or a specific type of foodsnail?
>>22030766slow food. slowly cooked, slowly moving. idk post snails, frogs, turtles etc.>>22030773random field near my town. nothing exotic, just some kind of garden snails i think, we don't have any other species here (balkans)
Nobody eats garden snails. Your gf is probably a pillow cover.
>>22030836we don't have many weebs in the balkans. parents beat the shit out of their children until they improve. and yea, french "people" eat escargot
>>22030758Was it actually good?My sister once cooked us snails but she salted them and starved them in a cardboard box. I don't remember why
>>22030848starving them makes the muscle more tender, softer. they are good, but don't eat too much of them. they have some earthy, specific taste, that's why they are mostly cooked with a lot of garlic and herbs. also very long and painful to clean them.

Darkened a roux over the course of 30-40 minutes and then simmered up some red beans and rice for another hour and a half, came out very nicely, lots of body.
>>22030758I’m sure it’s good but I just can’t with snails. Slowest adult animal I eat might be scallops, aside from them and fish it’s all land animals and birds for me>>22031762Whenever someone mentions red beans and rice I think about making it and then forget
>>22032705The best times for it are past this year now that it's warmed up but I was in the mood. Red beans and rice is fantastic cold winter day chow, warming and sticks to you well.
>>22030848>>22030861Not completely true. Snails have a far more robust digestive system than we do. They can eat poisonous mushrooms and easily survive. On top of that their digestive tract is so simple it contains all of the waste material as well. Because their digestive tract is so simple and robust, it gets rid of all the dangerous garbage in a matter of days.
French surrendered so hard they still eat like Paris is under siege
