There seem to be many snails around my house and this year, instead
of trying to poison them I am going to collect them and eat them.

Any advice on how to do this? I suppose I ought to feed them a known
diet for a while to get all the bad stuff out. What is recommended?
Can I just feed them lawn clippings? My lawn hasn't had any chemicals
applied in months so it is pretty clean. What about things like banana
peels, apple cores, carrots, tree leaves, etc? How long do I have to
put them on a cleansing diet?

And how do you cook them? Just fry them in garlic butter?

By the way, I have found the best way to collect the ones that are
really stuck is to twist them around and they come right off. Just
pulling on them can crack the shell or rip part of the foot off.
