Show As Is well known, certain species of snail form a favorite dish with Frenrh gourmets, and the cultivation of these Isnd molluscs Is conducted on a large scale In the outlying suburbs of Paris, particularly In the department of Aube, where there are large snail gardens, gar-dens, with plantation of thyme, mint, parley, and chervil for the animals to feed on. When a Frenchman takes snallg wild he leaves them. If prudent, a few- days to digest their last meal, for there Is a current belief that thay may be dangerous If they have recently re-cently fed on poisonous plants. |
