I read with a smile on my face, it's so familiar.<br />I giggled when I read the snail part. I have a similar memory from Symi, many years ago. After a heavy late September rain we went out to collect snails. My friends told me "Don't take the ones who feed on donkey's pooh, take the other ones!" "But how do I know the difference?!" "They are very similar so you have to look very carefully!" Well thanks, that's useful information :-/<br />And a couple of days later, after (hopefully) having got ridden of the donkey's pooh in big bowls of water, they were cooked in the same tomato sauce as you describe ... I only remember having loads of sauce and one single chewy snail. I'm all for trying local traditions and culinary culture but ... ;-)<br />Anyway, I love reading it!mandalakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17087813250403067567noreply@blogger.com
