These snails seem to be quite cosy stuck onto the rotting wooden post of an unkempt fence at Kalamaki Beach. The owner of the house says that they are edible. They are boiled and extracted out of the shell with a pin, then dipped into an oil-garlic-vinegar dip before they are eaten.

That's very cool I have never seen anything like it before. But I'm not to keen on the whole eating them thing.
ReplyDeleteWow, that could be taken for something out of a gallery - Beach Art. All that old timber, rusty wire and the lovely shells!
ReplyDeleteI think I would prefer to look at them than eat them!
