These snails were very tasty as they were cooked in a tasty broth. They were one of the tapas that we snacked on before the main meal of special rice. I was invited to the Christmas celebration of a Menorcan family which they held earlier than usual because some family members were heading off to Thailand for the holidays. Some of these snails were added to the rice, along with all kinds of other things, including little wild birds, and the boy sitting next to me didn't like snails so he put his on my plate (he was fine with the little birds). You eat the snails by sucking on the opening of the shell until the meat starts to come out, and then you can pull it out with your fingers or use a toothpick. The meat was a little chewy, but really very tender, and you got a little broth out of the shell to enhance the meat. I enjoyed quite a few of these.
