Keeping To A Cooking Theme,

many of us will have heard or tried growing your own say mushrooms,

 well how about growing your own snails, or Escargots? as they are known,

now you can with the Grow Your Own Escargot Kit, the kit comes with everything you need, but the baby snails are not in the kit, you must send in the enclosed card and two to three days later you will receive six of the tiny molluscs along with food for their new home, naturally the kit does come with a container for you snails to call home, instructions for their care, and recipe suggestions for their ultimate demise, 

and there in lies the problem, especially if there are any kids in the family when one day when the now 6 month old family pets disappear from their home only to magically reappear on a plate, how do you explain that it is perfectly normal to eat Bill, George, Fred, Janet, Jane and Nancy? it reminds me of the time when every Christmas we would go to Uncle Harry's, we would exchange Thumper, which was our families pet rabbit for a year for a new baby rabbit that appeared magically every Christmas morning, I always wondered why Mum only ate vegetables at Christmas, it took me years to find out! and no I am not on commission.
