Chinese Snails - A Beginner's Guide

Snails. They're a lot less gross and a lot more delicious than probably most people think!

Imma school you on how snail eating works here, in case you were wondering. If you weren't wondering, IT DOESNT MATTER CAUSE HERE WE GO LOL

Step 1

Find yourself some snails. Preferably cooked by someone who knows what they're doing unless you like not living.

Step 2

Select your target.  A little floating shell island in the spicy soup is what you're looking for. A nice big fat one like this guy will do just fine.

Step 3

Slurp out the tasty spicy soup up in the shell. The louder your slurp the better.

before

after - notice the now-visible "head"

Step 4

With your trusty toothpick in hand, dig in and start pulling him out headfirst- but not all the way.

If it looks like this, you went too far.

no no no

Step 5

While still in the shell, use your toothpick or teeth to break off the "head." Don't eat the rest of the snail because it's something akin to poop, as I was told.

Step 6

You know what to do ;^)

After it's all said and done, you should have a pile of shells that looks something like mine!
