Tried snails, rather like black rubber, it was the garlic and parsley butter that made them edible. I would rather leave the slugs to the birds and I'd rather leave the jellied eels to someone else.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Not tried, nor ever will, snails- ugh. Prefer stamping on them!
Did kep it simple- Tomato filled pasta from feeezer with homemade, also from freezer, red pepper sauce, with chunks of feta. Started with budget tacco 'chips' with OOD salsa sauce whilst cooking. Daughter's idea not mine........
Apparently, I dismantled the tree wrong last yr- TBH I'm not sure that it was me, but someone insists it was. Anyway this made it very difficult for daughter to put up again this- oops last- yr., or so she says......
She's also parked her car in front of garage- hmm, wonder if OH coming back early? Not my problem....
Decided not to do any more cleaning until after the w/end. Nobody will notice, 'cept me, so if any chance of going into garden I'm out there. J.
I like Calamari, when it is battered and fresh, especially with a squeeze of lemon. It does go rubbery as it cools though. I have had octopus too, braised in red wine. It is quite meaty really.
I had snails in France as I live here. The French cook some strange things such as andouillette which is an offal filled sausage yuk! but mostly the food is very good. I like calamari in batter.

Put my Veggie Friend to rest yesterday! Proper good turn out! (Thank's to Facebook) n proper, proper good send off! So I is well happy! Thick head this morning! so it was done right!
Good luck with the move Geoff! But I said years back! Once Queen n country served, I would return Home, n neither break these shores again!
Oh Dean, that's good. never easy, but sounds as if you all 'did him proud'.
Bjay- you never know... Seriously me & OH are planning to do more 'sightseeing' visits down Worcs/Gloucs/Shropshire areas in the future. Daft now no actual connections, just memories. Over the last yrs we've always stayed in NWorcs/Black country borders, with Dad. Apart from trips down to Oxford to OH's Aunt/uni drop offs/pick ups we rarely explored much further. We're NT members, so really must use it more down there.
Tree now 'apart' so need to flatten into the box & tape box up. J.
