Escargot Anyone?

The leaves are gone but my grapes are still hanging.  I can't bring myself to harvest them.   In November I brought in a bunch to eat.  Washed them up real good.  Tiny little spiders kept coming out and I washed some more.   Satisfied they were all clean I left them in a bowl on the counter to eat throughout the day.   About 4 hours later I was mindlessly eating them when I glanced down and I saw the tiny little snail that had made its way up the side.   All I could think about is if I had put those through my juicer I would also be juicing the snail!  I would not of even known... but now I do.  I just can't make the leap to harvest those grapes!

The offending snail is about center of the picture to the left a bit.

Very nutritious, you would at least get your protein with your fruit.

i know what you mean... but doesn't it make you wonder what bugs and insects you have ate unknowingly in your life. I'll never forget in 7th grade my friend had a grasshopper in her green beans (school lunch) yummmmm!!
