For the persistent snails, IF they make it past the first flange, there is a section of the fence that is electrified to deter passage. 4. At the top of the fence, it is bent back toward the ground thus creating a second flange for any snails smart enough to figure out how to shut off the electricity to get to the top of the fence.The Sullivanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13394886274870482570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8779885531426200622.post-57955361050673010642012-04-30T14:25:52.255+02:002012-04-30T14:25:52.255+02:00The snails crawl around eating the grass and other...The snails crawl around eating the grass and other herbs.

Now about this fenced area... Cant they just scale the wall and climb over? Are there snail wranglers.. snail boys? Do they take long to grow to the edible size? How exactly are baby snails made? Does the snail poke have to buy more babies or once the farm has them, do they procreate? Why are snails on menus with fish? I see no water in this story? I think I thought they were shell fish. I'm just realizing I know nothing about snails. Thank you for enlightening me.Healthy Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05664237795133949963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8779885531426200622.post-21793223459829376402012-04-30T01:45:25.075+02:002012-04-30T01:45:25.075+02:00This post definitely can be among those that bring...This post definitely can be among those that brings to mind my one of my father's favorite sayings, "You learn something new every day if you hang around the right people." I have wondered for years where the snails came from. Now, bring on the garlic butter. But hey! I'm game to try the pepper sauce.John D.

We went to the wine festival at Vinosobres in March and I met a lady there who "raises" escargots and she invited us to come and visit her farm which we intend to do next time we are in Sablet. We serve a fabulous preparation of escargots on our Bistro menu.Michelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02084254959003451085noreply@blogger.com
