If you have a garden, you probably also have snails.
They’re pretty colorless, at least the ones I’ve seen but they are interesting harmless little creatures,
A snail is a shelled gastropod.
The word gastropod comes from Greek and means “stomach foot,” a name that owes its existence to the unusual anatomy of snails. Theyāare edible, if cooked well, but I’m content with just taking photos.
I’ve never wanted to eat one, either, but they certainly are fascinating little creatures. Thanks for the photos. š
Thank you so much for your comment š
Den hade ett vƤldigt fint “hus”. Jag har ingen trƤdgĆ„rd lƤngre men efter mycket regn har jag sett massor av snƤckor.
Du skulle passat pĆ„ att fotografera nĆ„gra, sĆ„ vi andra ocksĆ„ fick se š
Yuck! I det hƤr fallet Ƥr dina makron alldeles fƶr bra;-) Cypriotiska snƤckor liknar inte de svenska kan jag sƤga. Och hƤr och i Frankrike Ƥr det vƤl bara vinbergssnƤckor som Ƥr Ƥtliga. Tror det eller ej – jag har Ƥtit snƤckor. Tycker de Ƥr goda. Bara de har tillagats med en massa vitlƶk;-)
Nej, dƤr gƄr grƤnsen, vƤgrar Ƥta en enda snigel. Tack fƶr kommentar Beate :))
Well, I just love your photos, Anita! And I have eaten them at least once on vacation at a fancy restaurant. They were good, kind of like a clam. š
Thank you Lisa. I have never tried eating snails and never will š
Fina bilder! Jag Ƥter inte sniglar och de Ƥr bara delvis vƤlkomna i min trƤdgĆ„rd. De Ƥter plantorna rƤtt friskt, sĆ„ jag hĆ„ller efter men utrotar inte š
Tack Anna. Ja, de kanske inte Ƥr sƄ kul att ha om de Ƥter upp det man odlar och ni odlar vad jag fƶrstƄr en hel del.
PƄ sista bilden ser det ut som om den ler lite finurligt, haha. SnƤckan Ƥr dekorativ med sitt ormskinnsmƶnster. Trevliga fotobojekt, snyggt fotad serie! VinbergssnƤckor har jag Ƥtit en gƄng, tillagade av svƤrfar, men det var ingen hƶjdare, skosulor med vitlƶkssmak.
Skosulor!! Haha.. vet du hur skosulor smakar š Nej, men allvarligt sĆ„ ser de inte lockande ut fast det finns det ju mycket som inte gƶr men som man ƤndĆ„ Ƥter. Ja, lite finurlig ser den ut nƤr man tittar nƤra. Tack snƤlla fƶr din kommentar Jag.
…sjutton ocksĆ„, att jag glƶmt bort vad du egentligen heter.
We have many in our yard here in Normandie, while I have never eaten the local residents I have had many escargot at restaurants, truly a delight.
Ohh.. maybe I should try before I say I don’t like them. š Thanks for commenting Terry!
Put them in a special dish with individual intentions, add garlic, butter, and breadcrumbs. Then the whole thing goes under the broiler until the breadcrumbs are nice and toasted. Add vin blanc, and it is a delight.
Indentations, not intentions.
Thanks a lot Terry!!! I will try to persuade my dear husband, he is the cook at our house. No, why not give him a surprise!!!! It sounds undeniably delicious, and easy to prepare.
Love your idea.
I realize I made a typo. I meant to say āThey put themā¦ā as in a restaurant. Yet if you could find the snails, I think some places have them canned, you could do it yourself.
We do indeed have snails, far too many of them! We’re forced to buy only those plants they choose not to eat as otherwise we’re just buying snail food š
I get your point, buying snail food is a waste š
Thanks for commenting Sarah.
The patterns on their shells are just exquisite! I love the way you captured the snailās eye!
Thank you very much for your comment š
De har vackra hus och tycker dom Ƥr fina. Sniglar i vitlƶkssmƶr Ƥr gott men det var lƤngesedan jag Ƅt det.
Kramar frƄn oss
LƤckra bilder, men jag tror inte jag vill Ƥta sniglarna š
Inte jag heller š
Your macro stuff always amazes me. Keep it up š¤£šš
Ohh, yesss!! Thanks You so much š
