Look at that S-car go!

Obviously, I couldn't leave France without trying escargot. I was surprised to learn that although many of the snails come from snail farms (there are over 200 in France) many come from the wild. Indeed, many French people enjoy going snail hunting and cooking up their own gooey booty. (Turns out we even have snail farms in Australia.)

Anyway, enjoy the little movie my mum and I made of the whole ugsome experience. I feel sick just thinking about it again.... (Oh and sorry about the slides playing music - it's annoying, but I can't turn it off!)

But, I must hasten to add, that the service was 10/10 and the dessert 10,000/10!! I was even given a private tour of the kitchen and met the chef! Another really great restaurant in Eymoutiers with more really lovely French people.

And now for my two favourite snail jokes.

Joke 1

The old snail was at the pub when he said, "When I get a sporty race car, I'm going to paint a big 'S' on the side of it so when I go past everyone they'll all exclaim - Look at that S-car go!!"

Joke 2

A snail is at the police station. He's telling the officer on duty about how he was just mugged and robbed.

"It was two turtles!" the snail sobs. "They beat me up and took my money!"

The officer asks "Did you get a good look at them?"

The snail says, "No! It all happened so fast!"
