This looks like an Egyptian snail. A special one that has an Egyptian face and looks.

I heard they are really delicious to eat and they taste sweeter than those normal snails πŸ˜‡.

Sort: Β 

World's ugliest snail maybe?

You're right though, normal snails pale in comparison to these Egyptian ones...So sweet one doesn't need dessert after dinner.

Lol.. World ugliest snail

You must have been eating it alot I guess. Why do you need dessert when you got something so sweet as the eggy snail. πŸ˜‹πŸ˜…

Snails are so small though...Takes a lot of them to fill up.

I ate snails in Paris once...They were cooked in butter, garlic and parsley. They were actually pretty good. My wife Faith spat it out though; The texture takes some getting used to. I don't think I'd eat them again though. Much better things to say...Unless it's this snail...These are tasty!

Smile. I have actually tasted snail before.

Lol she spat it out πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚. Something I love and very delicious.

I prefer eating it on rice and stew, or best taking it with cassava flakes, which is locally called Garri here in Nigeria, prepared with chilled water and milk πŸ₯›. Chai

I wish you could try it out how I prefer it, you will forever love it.

Every Nigerian can testify to this πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹.

I didn't know it was a food there to be honest. I'd give it a go for sure. I didn't mind the French ones...Just not my favourite thing.

Hahah, I think this is a better looking snails compared to the pasty slimy ones! I had snails too as a kid, gross, the texture is disturbing, I'm with the wife on that one. When the microwave first came out my mom started making them via microwave instead of the traditional way making them extra rubbery. All that we could hope for is that she would cook them too long and they would explode (and they do) so the batch would be ruined.

Hmm, snails aren't my thing really. I ate them at Moulin Rouge on Paris, during the show, so I was distracted and are more than I should have.

Microwaved snails would be...Well, maybe good to use at the squash courts when one forgets to bring the squash ball...Extra bouncey.
