Close but no escargot

As you may have read in the previous post, I made and served escargot with margarita jalapeno salsa at dinner on Sunday. I thought escargot were like mushrooms in that you were best to purchase them rather than forage them from the wilds as they could be deadly. Apparently I was wrong. According to quite a lot of research on the internets (hahaha), all you have to do is find them, boil them, clean them, and then enjoy them.

Here are a couple of critters I spotted while out geocaching on Saturday. Gee...if only I would have known I could actually have eaten them, I would have brought them home.

Monkey makes friends with lunch

This might give you some idea how much meat there is on these little suckers
