From Earle McNeil
I was amused by Dunstan’s solution for the snails that were eating his flowers. He threw them into his neighbour’s garden.
My brother and I have a different and very effective solution. We eat them. With a bit of butter and garlic salt, mixed and cooked with the vegetables, the snails provided us with a very tasty meal. Not one of those snails ever returned to the garden except as pulverised shells that we sprinkled to add calcium.
