Advertise them as supersized escargot, and then put them on the McDonald's menu.

ummmm, is that politically correct? I mean they could be Yugoslavian Snails for all we know..........Or South American Snails. The question is are they here legally?

They are really not something to joke about according to the USDA. We certainly don’t want to have them in the Villages!

Invasive Species: Animals - Giant African Snail (Achatina fulica)

Was this sign in the Villages?

I like escargot. Are these snails edible ?

There is a snail/slug bait on the market that gardeners use to get rid of this pest.
