It took an effort to get my family to agree to harvest the snails. Happily I washed and cleaned the snails and prepared them for cooking as a special delicacy during Christmas. At this time my husband traveled. I decided to wait for his return. Here is a picture of the harvested snails
Finally upon his arrival, we sought his opinion concerning the snails. He didn't agree with us. so the snails were sent back into the snail pen. I had thought of a million and one ways I would have made a dish of the snails, yes I wanted to cook some with green plantain and vegetables, I wanted to fry some with carrot and green peas and lots of garlic but now no snail dish for me yet.
However there is a problem with the snails; yes they lay hundreds of eggs and hatch them but baby snails don't survive. Only a few of them make it. What can I do?
