I dislike canned/tinned snails. They taste canned, and it is not very nice compared to fresh. I used to do heliculture and collection when I lived on the West Coast, but here in Raleigh I can not find any Helix species extant and must be content with the just as delicious but much harder to prepare and clean brown leopard slug (Limax maximus).

I envy people snails in their garden. Sadly I have none and neither does anyone else I know, or I would be harvesting happily.
