Clams, oysters, snails ... pass, pass, pass.
Might as well throw in calamari too. Pass.

I'll take everything but the snails. :hungover:
None of them are much more then globs of mucus. It's one thing that Jennifer and I will always agree on. Maybe I should try them! Calamari is different, I realize, but, you can't trust anything that disguises itself as an innocent, tasty onion ring. So that is a no. If I want to chew on a rubber band, I'll just chew on a rubber band.

But how are restaurants to make money if they advertise them as deep fried rubber bands?

It's all in the presentation....give it an exotic name and people will buy it.

That's why civilized people called them escargot...it disguises the fact that they are eating snails.

and cover them up with butter and herbs...so they can't see them either!!

My father loved escargot (the only person I've ever known to love those!). I recall a trip to Montreal and Quebec City, and every night he'd order them, prepared in different ways. He was in heaven. I used to get grossed out (as a kid) watching him hold that metal clip thing on the snail shell, and then pulling out the snail with another small fork or whatever it was. Ewwww . . . :depressed:

@JenniferS , (and anyone else that enjoys thrill rides), hubby and I went out to western MA to the Berkshire Mountains, to ride the Thunderbolt Mountain Coaster. OMG . . . I didn't realize it was the longest mountain coaster in North America. (Leave it to me to find something terrifying . . . :eek: ). So, you're seated in this little open ride car with a seat belt; there are levers on both sides--forward to go fast, and pull back to slow down.

The cable pulls the cart up-track, on OPEN, steel trestles (which shake a little and make noises . . . :jawdrop: ), 1,580 feet to a top landing area. Then a guy at the top, tells you to push the levers forward and the cart disengages, and gravity on steroids projects the cart down -- 3,870 feet of downward track with swooping turns, BANKED corners (no kidding, I thought I was going to tip over a few times, in some spots about 20 feet to the ground!), rolling DROPS, and a few 360 degree turns!!

In conclusion: I think I finally met my match! It was scary!! BUT, I'd do it again! :facepalm: :joyfull: (P.S.: Hubs loved it, but admitted that a few of the steeper turns unnerved him a bit.)

I had to Google it - there are a couple of cool videos:
