[Sca-cooks] snails and puppy dog tails...

[David Walddon]

We had both snails and oysters at Cook's Play date last year. 
They were EXCELLENT! 
The snails were done two ways and the oysters mostly roasted. 
CANNOT WAIT UNTIL JULY 4th WEEKEND! 
This year we might bring the kids! 
Although the discussion continues about that!

I figure about 2/3 of people would eat them, and the other 1/3 would just eat more of other things.  In general, I have absolutely no expectation that every person will like every dish.
