I hope you named one of them "Lawrence".

I tried working that into the title or the descriptive text, but i'm glad now that i couldn't.

You sure know your gastropods!

A gastropod-loving gastronome!

But hopefully not a gaseous gascon. . .

Noooo!

You didn't kill my friends Sammy and Freddy, did you? Who do you think are going to tell me where the abalone are now????

hungry and confused

If I have a shellfish allergy... can I eat this or not? It's a snail... that eats clams...

Inquiring intestines want to know!

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

Well, it has a shell, so it probably qualifies as shellfish. A casual Googling suggests that it's probably not as bad as other stuff. But you should consult your doctor first.

Oh, I know. Just... seeing it makes me long for my shellfish-eating days.

What sort of odor did this have? I was served some kind of sea snail many years ago at a resort in Japan and passed because it smelled truly awful.

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

Kinda like grilled shrimp. It was certainly not offensive to the nose (you know how damn picky i am with my food).

[racerxmachina.livejournal.com]

I'm curious to know how it tastes. Is it sweet, like scallops, or is it kind of fishy-gamy, like oysters?

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

Neither. As above, it somewhat resembled shrimp in smell, taste, and texture, except stronger (beefier?), and a denser mouth-feel.

Today, ronebofh, tomorrow, the whelk!
