People take them from their gardens, the side of the road, public land...anywhere the snails congregate.<BR/>I agree about the fennel. Our neighbor gave me that idea. I also wondered about cilantro, but the snails in our garden mowed down our cilantro plant last week.

Is it common that French families who prepare snails pluck them from their own garden? Makes since, but I'm clueless. And i love the idea of feeding them fennel, so they'll be so sweet and succulent.Kirstinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01748504317187765281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20775625.post-43744711242020770202008-06-21T15:40:00.000+02:002008-06-21T15:40:00.000+02:00...and let this be a warning to all of you invited......and let this be a warning to all of you invited chez loulou "for dinner" - if she feeds you fennel and parsley, run for your life! ;-)isahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16691699331129121806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20775625.post-86937403932989221372008-06-21T12:45:00.000+02:002008-06-21T12:45:00.000+02:00rianaI gave them some water after reading on a sit...riana<BR/>I gave them some water after reading on a site that they should have some - I would probably have forgotten!<BR/>Thyme, huh?

Haven't had escargots in years and I figured since there are so many in our garden, I may as well take advantage of that.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245742506531002363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20775625.post-49079604686598604982008-06-21T12:13:00.000+02:002008-06-21T12:13:00.000+02:00Oooh are you going to cook them?
