Most important; How do they taste with garlic and butter? Or even...bacon.
Did you hear about the high school football player drinking beer and found a slug and ate it.

Giant African land snails can carry dangerous parasites.
The rat lungworm (Angiostrongylus cantonensis) uses snails to complete its life cycle. The adult worms both live and reproduce inside common rat species, such as black, brown, and cotton rats. The worm’s larvae end up in the host mammal’s poop and are eventually excreted. The feces are then eaten by scavenging snails. If one of the worm-carrying snails is later eaten by a rodent, the cycle continues.
A 2015 survey of 50 L. fulica snails collected in Miami found that 18 of them harbored rat lungworms. The worms can cause eosinophilic meningitis in humans who eat the snails, either as part of a meal or by accidentally ingesting parts of the snails on grocery store produce. The illness can be fatal.
