SNAILS

The French consume 40,000 metric tons of snails each year.

According to the June 1909 issue of Scientific American, the consumption of Snails in Paris, France during the winter of 1900 amounted to about 800 tons.

Snails have been eaten as food since at least ancient Roman times. Apicius, the author of the oldest surviving cookbook (1st century B.C - 2 century A.D.) has a recipe for snails in his cookbook.

Restaurants serve about 1 billion snails annually.

Heliculture is the science of growing snails for food.
