My condolences Dean. Sorry for your loss.

LOL!

Last month I was messing with my 9 year old granddaughter and when she cornered me with a question, I admitted I was pulling her leg.

After admitting that, I told her to go slip on a pair of long pants and see if one leg is a bit longer than the other.

She just gave me this "Seriously?" look, rolled her eyes then went to her mother for comfort who was standing there witnessing the conversation.

Both Mom and I broke out in laughter when she threw in the white flag.

Great moment in that pic Dean. What was your Dad's first name?

Thanks everyone, Should have said, Keith was his name.

Whelks (Sea Snails), I have eaten many things including Snails in France, but have never brought myself to be able to eat these, the ones in the pot in the background are cockles, which I am ok with :-

RIP Keith. You were family to one of us, so you were family to all of us.

Are those boiled? And do they have the texture of rubber?

Think I've had something similar here in Japan.

We Portuguese, we do love snails!!!!

It's a summer classic here. Nothing better in the end of a summer afternoon, that heading to a local snack-bar and eating them with a couple of beers.

Here?s a good example:

Taste like chicken? lol.

Nah...

They taste like snails. Hehe? really can?t remember something to compare with?

In your mouth it feels like seafood, clams or mussels, maybe, about the taste it's not a strong one, so sometimes they acquire the taste of the seasoning in which they are cooked.

Are they slimy?

[Septem]

Are they slimy?

No. As I said it's a bit like clams...but without the seafood taste.
