 Snails taste kind of strange.

I'm not terribly fond of them. Though, I suppose it doesn't hurt to try new things.

[ever_yanagi]

They are apparently quite nutritious.

[gtl_yukimura]

There are other things just as nutritious.

[ever_yanagi]

No argument here.

[backtobasics]

I still don't really understand why they need to make food out of snails of all things.

[ever_yanagi]

Apparently, a prepared snail is 100 kcal.

[backtobasics]

Oh. Wow. That would explain it.

I always feel bad even when I step on snails. The other day I passed one and I said that I hoped that it at least managed to have sex before it died. Someone had stepped on it and crushed the shell, it was all rather sad.

[ever_yanagi]

I'm sure it at least had sex with itself. Most snails are hermaphrodites.

[sanada_g]

Why did you eat a snail?!

[ever_yanagi]

It was being served at a restaurant.

[sanada_g]

You eat at strange places, Renji...

[ever_yanagi]

Seiichi takes me to strange places.

Some people think eating sea urchin is quite strange but it's pretty tasty. Maybe it's an acquired taste? Though I'm not sure how I would feel about trying them.

[ever_yanagi]

Perhaps. It tasted mostly like garlic butter, but the texture is very strange.

Sea urchin is a bit strong tasting for me.

[bana_an_na]

Did it remind you of anything?


Which would you prefer? Snails or sea urchin?

[ever_yanagi]

Hmm.. a little bit like konnyaku but softer, with more give to the bite.

Neither, to be honest.

[acchimuitehoi]

Do they taste like regret? ☆

[ever_yanagi]

Butter-flavoured regret.

i have eaten snails in france before! it was mostly garlic and then the strange texture, but it was not bad, i thought.

[ever_yanagi]

It's not terrible, but still a bit odd.

[mimic_yuu]

The texture would gross me out I think.

[ever_yanagi]

It's not disgusting, exactly. Just odd.

[mimic_yuu]

Sounds chewy.
