Does anyone know much about collecting and cooking snails? I have seen a few locals out collecting them after the rains and thought I'd try it myself this autumn as it's free and organic local produce. Has anyone tried it yet? If so, do you need to clean them first and have you got any recipes? Failing that I might just tag along with some of the locals when they next go out and try to extract some information. I'll let you know as I'm sure you will be equally enthusiastic about trying this local delicacy. Someone did mention cooking them with Cava but I thought I might try Newcastle Brown Ale as I have a whole crate of it going to waste since I gave up alcohol.
