.... I used to know weird kids like that when I was at primary school..
... they weren't French either!!

[Jim R]

Still only on page two and we've already got cider and snails!!
Nice choice of subject and the kit looks good. There's a lot of plastic. Glad you've sorted the AWOL crew. Nice start Andy. Looking forward to the rest.

Mine were cooked……not playground foraging……they were part of a so called taster menu at a good restaurant in the Cotswolds where we went for our twenty fifth anniversary a few years ago. Her indoors wouldn’t touch them, but I thought “what the hell”, you won’t know unless you try them ……not sure I’d have them again though,….

Did you know that a lot of the snails eaten in France are (at least were, before Brexit) imported from Wales? Raised on a farm near Cowbridge. I've eaten snails in Angouleme, as well as frogs' legs. Wouldn't bother with either again though.

Didn’t know that. I thought they tasted like over salted bacon rinds to be honest Pete, not something I’d try again either.

Andy. Very nice start.

If you do want more figures your could try PJ Productions. Some of their stuff is quite nice.... Some of it not great but ok.

"Over salted bacon rinds" eh?...hmmm, they've suddenly become more appealing!
