could you...would you?
Need protein? want a source of meat thats low impact, low expenditure and low in use of water, kilojules, time,and effort? Its a free range, low impact, SLOW protein source we all have available and its incredibly underutilised; wasted even. Sounds great in theory. Just how green are you willing to be?
Folks, we're talking escargot.
Its simple. Gather 'stock'. Isolate for a week from its normal environment. Provide a daily feed stock of meal/bran and finish of with a salt bed to 'defoam' and 'viola' 7 days later you've got a lean, clean, primed and plumped, ready to go high protein source of ...rubber!

Are you averse to eating escargot or just raising them yourself? We don't really have snails around here much, but in France they were all over the place. Once, when we had a get-together for our students' homestay families, one of the dads peered into our bushes and noticed an abundance of snails. He called his two boys over and they spent the evening harvesting snails!

I'm with you, Kel. Not this gal, but I believe ducks like snails, so maybe I'll get one or two of those some day. And I love duck!! LOL!
But if it got down to a contest between snails and beans, the beans would win out every time! xx
I'm going pass on the wall fruit thank you very much and stick with the beans :)
naturewitch- duck...ohh duck.. i love duck too. Yup, until i can no longer choose the bean...
TheCrone- im loving that adjective! (or is it an adverb?, a pronoun? aghhhh)
