Sold in the shell, which is how it is bought at home and how it keeps its texture best. Snail carries a firm, almost springy bite that nothing else in the pot replicates.
What you get:
- Whole giant African snail, supplied in shell
- Firm texture that stands up to long cooking
- For pepper soup, peppered snail or as a stew centrepiece
- Contains molluscs
Remove from the shell, rub thoroughly with lime, alum or garri to clean, then rinse well before cooking.
