Would You Eat This? Delicious Snails at the Food Fair
I personally really love these, these are a type of sea snails called 'common whelk'. You see these a lot in Belgium, they're usually sold at markets and other events around the country.
These ones have been cooked in a spicy broth that has a distinct celery flavor. They might not be for everyone, especially if you're squeamish about eating snails, but once you get over that they're truly amazing.
In terms of texture they're very chewy, but packed with flavor from the broth.
Here's a little close up.
If you're ever in Belgium, do try these out. They're called 'Wulken' in Dutch and there's a famous stand at the old stock exchange in Brussels that sells them. The best ones you usually find at the coast though.

Oh man I would never eat those lol, I hear many people saying that they are so nice, but it's not for me. Glad you liked them though :)
Yeah it's definitely not for everyone. I personally never eat something with liver or any other organs. Tried it once and really didn't like the taste or thought.
Me neither lol .. the smell of it is already so bad lol
That sounds delicious @daan never tried sea snails, love snails in garlic butter, have a great day!

They do look a bit chewy and squishy. I like some seafood that looks like these such as mussels and cockles, but snails? These are the things that eat my plants!
I'm not so sure I could muster the courage.
You just can't think about it :P They're a lit like larger cockles when you think about it. The texture is pretty smooth too, no weird bits inside.
I could be tempted if you told me it was seafood first :)
Hello Friend!! I hope you have a happy week, I have never tasted snail, but I would definitely try it, I love trying new and exotic foods.
When I eat, I sometimes have issues with texture. Thanks for sharing, but I think I need to pass on this. Keep pressing forward and keep Steeming!

I think the chewiness would put me off personally, but I'd definitely try them.. :o)
I am not sure if I could get over the texture. It sounds like the flavor would be worth it though. The first big obstacle would be getting myself to Belgium!
I love things like this! I adore seafood. I also used to love eating snails when we visited France when I was a child. I had some snails in a restaurant recently and didn't like them so much - they were too chewy, maybe not cooked properly.
I don't think it's the prettiest food though. Maybe they'd be better disguised in an omelette.
