These snails are alive and well and will cost you €4 per kilo at the greengrocer's "shop" in the photo below.
This shop is no more than a single, groundfloor room out of which a family has been selling their snails and other choice items for decades. I asked them for a snail recipe, but all they told me was to boil them till they slide out of their shells and then eat them straight. More elaborate recipes include sautéing them with a bit of extra virgin olive oil and cherry tomatoes.
Have you ever eaten snails?
