[hopea2]

i was surfing around looking for a margie, as i really want one for my margie so it can get breeding, when i came across this snail-farming.blogspot.com/2010/03/snail-eggs-white-caviar.html its really odd, and its got my intrests in wierd food lol i checked to see if it was real and not a wind up and found many sites this was my first, so it is real lol www.efoodies.co.uk/invt/snailcaviar/ nomore beluga caviar for the rich lol

what type of snail eggs are they! for that price I'll be happy to sell my eggs lol

[hopea2]

i dont know, but they prob are from the french edible snails, but people eat gals so i would guess they would be ok to eat, we should start our own snails and tails branded white caviar lmfao mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

3.6g an egg so must be big. No I wouldn't try it! lol

[hopea2]

i would try them, mostly out of intrest than anything else lol

[stix]

They look like isabella eggs they are almost see through so the isabella i the only species i have owned that have eggs with shells so tranparent

[SnailsPace]

Helix Aspera Maxima apparently, and the batch of eggs weighs approx 4g so not 3.6g per egg like other article says, was thinking you'd choke it it lol. Hmm they taste like 'a walk in the forest'. Maybe it's what they use to preserve them that makes them a bit transparent? I'm sure I read brine somewhere but can't find it now.

Not unless I was on a survival course out in the wilderness, then I'd like to think that I'd be brave enough to try anything edible!
I don't fancy any kind of caviar. Yuk!

Yes, these will be eggs of Helix aspersa maxima or Helix pomatia.
I know from one of company which produce snails for human consumption that the recipe for snail caviar is very complicated.
They spent two years by testing of this and now their recipe has certification.
