Nah, I'd rather say it's about an average mouse-sized snail...  |

No, I saw them in Africa, they are much bigger than mice.
But, good new, they are good to eat. They are sold in clusters at the markets. |

So, you eat the snails or they eat your citrus trees.

Eating snails sounds truly pure disgusting. Worse than people that eat cow's tongue. - Millet |

Eeww. I'm with you, Millet. I remember one of my best friends playing a terrible joke on me as a kid. She got me to swap sandwiches one day during lunch period at school, tricking me into thinking it was roast beef. It was beef tongue. The minute I bit into it, I could tell it was something odd, due to the "crunchy" texture. Don't think I made it to the Girl's Room. Just awful.

Probably has a lot to do with the way they are prepared.
Done right they are probably tasty.
Wrong and Millet nailed although I don't think Millet is going to be trying them
however they ae prepared!
If the chefs get a taste for them they'll be an endangered species soon!!!

People think steamed clams are nasty. I'll eat 6 dozen at a time.
Never had snails before, but I have had conch & it was pretty good. We have these on the beach here all the time.
