	Vincent Teo  +  548710 Wed, 30 Jul 08 04:00 PM Snails? Do we call them "snails"? They cannot be eaten!! It's terrible if we eat them!! We never eat snails that outside our house. Vincent Teo

	Goodman  +  548717 Wed, 30 Jul 08 04:08 PM Vincent, Two natives already said it's called "snail". No matter how many time you repeat it, it's still called "snail". There is nothing terrible about eating snails. I love eating them when it's cooked with black bean with red chill sauce. There are differetn types of snails. The ones in your garden probably don't sound too appealling but the variety raised in farm or caught at sea is delicious. Goodman Joined on Mon, Nov 7 2005 Senior Member 3,816 The name says it all!
