That's true but I suppose all meat has to be carefully looked after to get it to the stage where it can be eaten - pigs, hens, cows and so on.
It was on This Morning last Saturday this chef was cooking up garden snails with Philip Scohfield and Holly Willoughby - she was very perturbed by it. But Phil said they were really tasty - I'm going to try it once - but last time I ate an eel I caught I was nearly sick - I couldn't get the smell of it's guts out my head and the way it's head was puffing up and down when I cut if off - squeamish!
