Omg – that is gross, but apparently possible! You just have to put them in quarantine for a while before you cook ‘em, but I think I would feel happier knowing any snails I ate were prepared by a chef somewhere, like … Paris.

I used to eat steak well done but now I order it medium - I find it has a lot more flavour. It's a mind-over-matter thing, I think.

There's a Japanese restaraunt that's just opened up near us and we've been looking for an excuse to visit, so now we've got it, thanks! Cat with a Garden - Grasshoppers - now that is adventurous! Puddy likes grasshoppers too - and other insects... Carri Ann - It took a lot of psyching up beforehand, but then afterwards it was a bit anti-climactic, like nothing terrible happened when we ate them like we thought might happen! :P Mooiness – Beef tataki it is for our next dinner outing, then!

The meat itself has no flavour. As for what to recommend you next - next time when you are in Japanese restaurant, try "beef tataki". It's thin slices of beef seared on the outside and raw in the middle, and it's dipped in a soy and garlic sauce. Yummy and not as bad as it sounds. If you are ok with medium-rare beef, you should be ok with this. :) .-= ....mooiness´s last post ..<a href="http://mooiness.com/2009/07/29/dream-house-maybe-later/" rel="nofollow">Dream house?
